Typing on it now in fact, ssh'ed in from $work. Luckily, I used to work for a company that had data processing services heavily invested in OpenVMS/DEC/Compaq/HP gear. I'm sure I acquired the systems over the years for well below market rates. I could probably sell the VAX 90A for a pretty large sum of $. ... but I really don't want to ... because then I'd have the money and not the VAX. :) If the power bill was free I would upgrade again .... but I have enough 24/7 equipment running in the home office. :) ... and I'm always hunting for more!
