My department is planning to have a roast of the former director and
because he was a big user of our former VAX systems, some people think
that mounting a disk platter would be a nice touch.
Anyone have have an extra RA81/RA82 disk platter for free/cheap?
What better way to roast him than to award him with an entire VAX? Heck,
they are cheap enough, sometimes even free.
That ought to get a few chuckles, especially if it's a 6000 or 8000
series with all the peripherals.
