A VAX 11/780 isn't a mainframe. My IBM S/390 9672 G5's CPU (OT,
incidentally) takes up two seven foot tall racks all by itself. A fully
outfitted S/390 9672 G1 (on-topic, bipolar logic, water cooled, loads o'
power) CPU alone takes up between 7 and 10 seven foot tall racks all by
itself, in a typical configuration. IfA VAX 11/780 is a minicomputer.

I wish I could. My VAXen and my mainframes take up too much time money
power and space.
