Agreed. We kept the VAX 7000. I think it might have had -600 CPUs when
we got it, but we upgraded them to -700. We might have a single -800 CPU
that we could get (was offered to us several years ago), but it's also
fun to run SMP... Now, if someone were to offer us two -800 CPUs...
Drool... :-)

None of it lightly, but we just do not have enough room to save
everything that we've collected over the years.
It all saddens me, but at the same time, I can't see that we could have
done anything differently.
Ugh, I'm sorry you had to face that situation. I don't know what I'd
do aside from go get drunk.
Yeah... :-(
Thinking back always makes me slightly sick. Like the time we dumped
close to 10 SA600 racks full of RA90 drives...
And Update used to have a DEC 7000 as well. It went in
the dumpster many
years ago now. :-(
Well THAT was dumb. I hope someone got nicely beaten up for doing
that. When choosing
between what to keep and what
to throw, a DEC 7000 is pretty low on the list. It's basically the first
generation Alpha. There are way sexier Alphas to be found.
Hmm, maybe. But those LSB machines are pretty cool.
