Having current and semi-current manuals kicking around
isn't really the issue though. I've seen more PDP-8,
PDP-10 and PDP-11 era manuals outside of COMPAQ/Digital/DEC
than I ever saw inside.

For VAX, PC and Alpha material the situation was
much better inside.

I wonder how many VAX hardware manuals will still be available
internally to COMPAQ in maybe ten (or five) years time?
