To quote from the article in DEC's Sales Update on the new VAXstation II/GPX:

VAXstation II/GPX is designed for Northern Hemisphere applications only.

Do you suppose there is a coriolis effect sensor in the system?
Perhaps the graphics hardware features a bit drain in addition to a bit bucket?


Seriously, the machine looks like it will be a nice system and one that will
give the Sun-3 a run for its money.
