}VAXes are far from gone. Bell Labs has many of them. I'm sending this
}from a VAX 8700, and we have two more like it. AT&T makes nothing
}comparable.

Many sites not using the Vaxes for Unix research are indeed getting rid
of Vaxen (which are happily accepted by the Unix research area's).
Basically, only 750's are really being tossed. Anything better is still
very useful as Bell Labs does the Unix research using the ninth edition
Unix, which exists mostly on Vaxen.

Not only am I sending this message from a Vax, it is a Vax that was
surplussed by another area. Runs great! I would certainly not give it up
for a Sun.

Paul.
