Ram size is hardly a problem in the forseeable future. Admittedly, there
are *some* VAXen that suffer from ram-shortage, but there are some VAXen
with plenty of ram.

gcc hogishness is a more serious problem in that case. It really should be
addressed, but somehow I doubt it will happen.

That's not the end of VAX, just the end of Unix. :-)
(Or was it 2036? I never can seem to remember, and I don't feel like doing
the math again.)
