Article about Seattle schools still running a VAX

    The Seattle Times is running an article about how the
Seattle
 School District is still using a VAX to do school assignments.

 Hmmm... I wonder if this student assignment program is some sort of
 expert system written in something like OPS5? It could be an
 interesting project to convert it to something more modern. 
 It's much more likely that it'd just be replaced with some COTS* stuff
 like Banner.

 * COTS != cheap off-the-shelf. 
I suppose so but that doesn't sound like nearly as much fun. Plus,  
it's off topic! Recreating a vintage OPS5 expert system is at least  
mildly on-topic.
