I still have my Islandco DS10-L and PWS-600au, we still have the RX-2620, though its reliability is in question, we have an option on a retiring RX-2660 in the next few months, and we still have four active and two passive (need to keep their VMS systems alive for access to historical data) VMS customers

Plus the VS3100-30 SPX on my desk

So I get to keep the one shelf of VMS docs (the white wall)

However work sees no reason to maintain SOCs with VAXen listed in them, or a chunk of the other older docs and media, in their space.  So I take it or lose it.
