- At the risk of depressing the market value of used 780s, I note
- that unless you are getting power, air conditioning, and office
- space for free, the 780 is extremely expensive relative to the
- latest (or for that matter last 6!) generations of small vax
- hardware. So, you may want to check into the cost of the small
- VAXstation 4000/VLC.
