They did indeed take a beating. I sold four 7800 CPUs to a reseller

They're
fine machines. The Pentagon is filled to the brim with VAX
7000s, which are also fine machines. Rock solid, very fast, very
predictable, and they run the stuff they need to run. What's not to like?
Still? According to:

They took a bit of a beating.
It would be interesting to hear what was taken out and if the managed to
replace it. I suppose its very secret though :)
