I beg to differ about 24MB of RAM being a limitation on a VAX. In a <br>
previous life we ran an 11/750 (roughly 1/12th the speed of the VLC but <br>
with much better I/O) with 8MB of RAM, had a dozen people on it every <br>
day. Performance was fine, some paging but not bad. (and not too <br>
painful with fast I/O) 24MB goes a whole lot further on a VAX than it <br>
would on, say, on a SPARC.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>William <br></div></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><a href="https://wlewisiii.500px.photography/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/wlewisiii/</a><br></div>Live like you will never die, love like you've never been hurt, dance<br>like no-one is watching.<br> Alex White<br></div></div></div>
