 Ahem. I believe the DECUS "Mature Systems Group" would object to that past
tense......

 This bunch can get fairly militant over their machines (they do some
interesting T-shirts some years commenting on DECs 'mistakes'.....like
the VAX).

 It's understandable really. The parts I like best in the 10 seem to be
non-issues nowadays ("Why would I care about Assembly language programming
ease?" is typical) and there are young DEC sales reps talking about the
new machines as "DEC's First Mainframe" which also can tee them off.
