Yes: they are selling too fast.

  :-)

More seriously: DEC Field Service always takes a while to learn how
to fix new machines.  (Some DEC FSpersons% never learn.  We happen to
have a good VAX FScreature%%.  We do not have enough experience with

Anyway, we have had problems with a few VR monitors and with one
power supply fan in one RZ55.  That is not too bad, given the number
of DS3100s that appeared here recently.
