  There are several reasons.  They're good performers (except for the
VERY earliest of VAXen, that is) they're very reliable, and they're
inexpensive (the older ones, anyway).  Many older VAXen are plenty
fast enough to do reasonable things, as many folks around here have
shown.

  If you've got the space, the power, and a non-stifling spouse, why
not dare to run computers your neighbors don't understand?  Soon, I'll
have pictures of my computer room up on my home page.  My neighbors
*hate* me.  S'ok, they suck anyway. :) *chuckle*
