  I am not exactly fond of DEC (and less fond of it as time passes) but I do
  wonder how true this statement is anymore. Slow, yes, media overpriced, yes,
  hard to figure out at times, yes.  But "extremely unreliable" ?  Our own ex-
  perience with heavy use of two of these for the past 20 months has been good,  
 from the perspective of reliability
