 The time frame was for the 11. 
 
   The word was "never".
      And if you
dismiss that for being "too new", I might go along with it
 for Alpha (1992) but certainly not VAX (1978). 
 I tend to think system size. Small is something you can touch.
 Big I just think perhaps if the gods are willing I can have few seconds
 of access time. 
 
   But there are common models of both the VAX and Alpha families that
are a whole lot smaller than the average PeeCee.
   Sorry, Mouse has got me in a nit-pickin' (not nose-pickin') mood.
