Thats true.  Just like to work with the older machines for a while.
I've got two vax4000 vlcs sitting on the shelf with vms 6.3 on them.
I still like to get them down and fire them up tho, and that is 
sometimes fun.  But like another poster said, the novelty has worn off a 
long time ago.  All I see is a stagnant market.  I wonder if Bill Joys' 
comment on "it's too late to save the industry" had some insight into this.
