"lose" a VAX 11/780!
This reminds me of when I was exploring a surplus yard, and found a *fire
truck* buried in a pile. Walked right by it a few times before I noticed
it.
I also lusted after an 11/780 as my first VAX, but compromised on a much
smaller and slower, but much more practical 11/730 system when one
happened to turn up.

I think if I had the opportunity to own a 780 I would do my best to *make*
space for it, although I fear it would mean having to rent storage space.
I'd love a 730 too.
I am still incredulous that someone could "lose" or not realise they had a
second 780! :-)
