Back then, the VMS volumes was extremely low compared to the IT-world
of today. Even if everyone "got a VAX" back then.

Of course there was less of these problems 30 years ago.
That is just as interesting as the fact that no one got
their iPhone stolen 30 years ago. Weird, isn't it? Must
have been becuse everyone had a VAX instead...
