It seems the 11/730 is not very popular.  How hard is it to come about
operating systems for these?  I assume they are only available second hand?

Is there any practical use of a VAX other than the sheer joy of owning and
operating one?  Not to say the enjoyment isn't worth keeping it around, but 
I really know little of their uses these days.  I am curious as to what use
one can be put to commercially.

	
Also, is there any kind of "VAX for Beginners" book/faqs?  I would love to
some kind of an overveiw as to the general operations and components, etc...
Any luck?  Or am I trying to learn black magic??? :)
