Care to list the specs on said VAX?
BTW, the dieing VAX at work I mentioned a few weeks ago. The replacement
software is being coded, and it seems that this machine doesn't have to go
back to the IT dept. for delisting (another words, I most likely know the
people who will be disposing of it). I let it be know that I can find a
good and loving home for it. We'll see if it ends up heading my way
instead of the dumpster.
