[geeks] HP's squandering

[Chris Byrne]

I thought they got both? They've had the PDP license for years. They
were certainly trying to get the VAX license as well did the deal fall
through?

They are still making VAX peripherals I know that. One of my friends mom
works for them Their offices are just about two miles from where I used
to live.
