The VCF museum took delivery of a VAX 9440 today.
It arrived in two 28-foot trailers. Here's our forklift driver beginning
to unload the first truck:

The full system is 30-40 feet long when it's all set up! It is in
pristine condition and was in service at a defense contractor until a
couple of months ago.
Rumor has it that we arranged for another one to land in Dave McGuire's
Large Scale Systems Museum collection, and a third to be with Bob
Roswell's System Source collection. :) Perhaps they'll post updates too!
