Yes. I understand how clustering works generally. I just didn't understand
how the deathrow vax cluster could really be a cluster if the machines
presumably were separated across the world or even one country between
various hobbyist boxes without sharing disks. I guess that means it was a
cluster in the sense VMS itself was available but not that people could
develop and test their code across machine failures.

Understood and thank you.
