You're missing the point my friend...it's not a "general DoD thing",
it's a SPECIFIC DoD thing. The same thing happens with AlphaStation

others...and they fetch $300+, where nicer ones can be had for <$100.
Specific makes AND MODELS of machines are frequently specced for
projects and services. This is why crazy stuff like this happens.

Maybe that is what's driving me crazy. What is it and why can't it be
ported ? Seriously, I will volunteer to port the damn thing if it will
lower my taxes $10 a year. Even if it doesn't I will do it anyway. I
really would rather no part of the of the national defense ran off any
VAX hardware and I love VAX stuff.
