If you ever check out ads for Digital, you will notice that you can purchse
either VMS or NT for them. I am referring the the AXP (or is it APX) CPU
series of computers. I doubt that anyone was seriously talking about a VAX.
If I recall correctly, Digital wanted $2000 for VMS, so most people opted
for the NT.
Just run Linux and screw them all!!!!!! Linux is available for the DEC
computers, free! I don't have too many things to say about DEC sinced the
booked out of here and moved their plants to Mexico. We had one here and
several years ago they shut if down and laid off all of the employees, just
to get cheaper labor from Mexico. At one time I was seriously thinking of
buying one and runnit Linux one it. However, after they pulled that crap, I
don't have much use for DEC. I once applied for a job with them when I liver
in Colorado. They have/had a plant in Colorado Springs. They just booked
from here and left empty buildings. I don't know if they are even in Co.
now, haven't been to the Springs for several years.
