No idea why you're so disrespectful towards those venerable machines.
In the late 1980s they contributed largely to VMS' popularity.
VS3100 on the desktops were a visible sign of "VMS spoken here",
and true VMS shops usually had quite a bunch of them.
Compare that to the faceless stuff HP provides these days,
or those pitiful emulation-on-Windoze legacy solutions.
