VAXstation 3100 history (Was ... different)

<I've heard rumors of at least one cluster with an uptime measured in years
<Me, I'm only at 18 days, but then I just put the system into production,
<and most of the time there is only one machine in the cluster (yeh, that
<doens't make a lot of sense).

I've run MicrovaxIIs for over 11 months at a time before the local lighting
company failed. Most of my systems average 2-3months between power downs
(deliberate). I turn them on and boot, wait a few and work, and work,
and work. the only reason I don't get longer uptimes it I prefer to only
keep one system up before feeding the power company so that system gets all
the uptime (MV3100) and that runs nominally 6-9months from the end of winter
to hurricaine season without reboot.
