there are running large

very long, and there are still a considerable number of systems 
   The VAX is still in production, man.

Sorry, with all the changes going on at Compaq, I thought they would
have killed it off by now (after all it was a DEC machine) :-).

I think production is supposed to stop this year.  I gather it's stopping
more from a lack of parts than a lack of demand.  I believe there is only
two or three models still being produced.

On the other hand Compaq has commited to support the platform for at least
another 10 years.
