Goodbye VAX hello ALpha

Yes. Nothing particularly surprising about it. I doubt that anyone would pay very much for VAXen that old. It's probably not worth a reseller's while trying to make a business out of selling them on ebay. The only businesses that might be interested are those that have such a machine in a mission-critical environment and they want one for spares or theirs just blew up and they need a replacement *now*. The only VAX 4000's that might sell would be the very latest -705As and maybe a -700A. VAX 7000's might sell too. Good luck with anything older. Why buy a VAX now when an Alpha can almost certainly do the same job (for most jobs, that is) and run rings around it too? Now my point of view as a hobbyist, is entirely different. I want *both* VAXes and Alphas :-) Antonio
