Yeah, but move it from one floor of a building to another and you'd best reseat all
the boards. Ironic, isn't it? -- Ian
PS: my comment was mostly about the relative values of a VAX, a Miata and a Hummer. I
don't own a Miata or a Hummer, but I have multiple VAXen....

No, not a VAX!
Those are valuable!
Would it actually damage the VAX?
Probably not. I dropped an 11/780 off the lift gate of a truck once
(not on purpose). The lift gate was about 3' off the ground when the
VAX decided it wanted off (I wasn't going to go with it)! It made a
dent in the ground. The VAX got some scratches but was otherwise fine.
