- Oh really now. You can get even a new VAXstation VLC (admittedly
- diskless) for under $3500, a tenth of the figure you quote. If
- you don't mind not having state-of-the-art hardware, a MicroVAX 2000
- is a nice enough one or two user machine (no graphics however unless
- you get the VAXstation flavor) and costs well under $2000 used,
- including disk.
