I've seen (well, almost) Norsk Data machines in, hmm.. how should I
phrase that: "big controversial power plants where security is quite
important". This was less than ten years ago so I don't think they've
"upgraded" them. Saw a couple of VAXen as well, 4000/90 if I remember
correctly. The VAXes I saw were not in critical roles.

(I checked, and they've replaced the Norsk Data system:

Hey! I've forgotten open genera completely. I'd like to try it out
someday now that I have some DEC 3000 hw. Unless someone wants to offer
me a cheap Symbolics workstation :-)
