[Info-vax] ChatGPT solved it for me, again...

To follow up on another thread, I asked ChatGPT about running 
a VAX 6000 in a dorm room: 

"It is technically possible to run a VAX 6000 in a college dorm room, but it would likely not be practical or feasible for several reasons.

First, the VAX 6000 is a large and complex mainframe computer that was originally designed for use in data centers and other large computing environments. It requires a significant amount of power and cooling to operate, and may produce a lot of noise and heat, which could be disruptive and potentially dangerous in a small dorm room.

Second, obtaining a VAX 6000 and setting it up for operation would likely be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. These systems are no longer manufactured, and may be difficult to find for sale on the secondhand market. Additionally, setting up a VAX 6000 would require a significant amount of technical knowledge and expertise, and may require specialized tools and equipment.

Overall, while it is technically possible to run a VAX 6000 in a college dorm room, it is not practical or advisable for most individuals or organizations. Modern computing technologies, such as cloud computing and virtualization, offer much more efficient and cost-effective solutions for most computing needs."
