   I saw a contract written as PDP-11/70 that was changed to
   PDP-VAX-11/780 as a change that the contracting officer could allow
   (both parties wanted it).  I also know a fellow who calls his
   VAX 4000 systems "the PDPs".  And I used compatability mode on my
   11/780 both for pieces of early VMS, and to run tasks I built on 
   my 11/34, but I don't know anyone on c.o.v who seriously thinks 
   of VAX as a PDP.
