[geeks] VAX Rescue

[Michael Thompson]

A MicroVAX-II was donated to the Rhode Island Computer museum last year. It
was a victim of the RI banking crisis and sat in the cellar of an bankrupt
bank building for 10 years. We got the machine reassembled and running
Saturday. When I logged into the System Manager account it said "Last
successful login: September 1987". The machine was installed in early 1987.
It looks like it was only used for about 6 months!.
