The thing is, how big was the profit margin on a MicroVAX compared to

If you're seriously proposing shipping cases
with /no/ labelling and a
sheet of DIY labels, you're either deranged or very stupid, and either
way, it's not worth trying to reason with you.
And yet I have a Microvax with the buttons labelled in English, and tucked
away in a little envelope inside the case a sheet of near-identical sticky
plastic labels just like the one on the front, but in various other
languages. One of the labels is missing, presumably the English one on the
front panel.
