A friend and I just watched the movie "Seven". I'd seen the movie
before, but I hadn't noticed the VAX-11/780 in the background of the
computerized fingerprint matching scene. It's obviously not running
(no roar in the background) but it was definitely a '780. :-)

I saw one in an episode of Matlock, being used for a similar purpose. I
think it was a 780. It was definitely a VAX-11 of some kind. Anyway, some
FBI guy got slammed up against it.

Oooh, I'll bet that hurt. The FBI guy, that is. ;)
