Even with 4 BA23s, you should be okay.

In that latter case, you could even giant wooden 'X's to fit the BA23s
into or onto to provide additional stability.  Actually you could fit a
wooden X onto the top of the BA23s as well for even more stability. Then
you set your boxsprings and matress on top of the whole thing. Then in the
space beneath it, you could store terminals, hubs, the network gateway
system.  It's perfect!

So who's going to having the world's first child conceived on a VAX
cluster?  Of course with all the EM radiation you'd soak up while
sleeping, you might end up sterile.

What's with all these bottle caps on my desk?  Why don't they put a string
to attach the cap to the bottle like they do with toothpaste, or make the
bottles have resealable Zip-Loc necks?  I think about stuff like this a
lot.  -- K.
