The product is great. I have used it a bit and it works
perfect.

But cheap is 500 dollar for first year and 250 dollar per
year after that.

Compared to DEC prices in the past that is very cheap.

But compared to VMS x86-64 in the future it is not
so cheap.

You can run a 1 VCPU 2 GB memory instance on AWS EC2
24 x 7 for less than 250 dollar per year. And if just
run occasionally then it will cost nothing.
