I still have friends inside. The subtle point being I used to work there
and make a point of keeping in touch with the activities of what's left
of the old DEC. Also I didn't say making, I said selling.
I believe there is little if any VAX chip production going on.

Nit picking crap again. I was a Digit when it was ported to Alpha. While
nt and Unix was more or less new to alpha I was running a Jenson (early
alpha) on my desk and using VMS.
Keep in mind I run VAXen, talk to Digits (now Compaq) and live local to the
action so to speak.

< VAXstation 4000 Model 96

< VAX 7000 Model 810 (up to six CPUs)
