| I didn't see that article,but I'd say that whoever's responsible
for leaving out DEC should be un-employed.

| In last weeks Boston Globe there was a article on the Duke's delegate
tracking committee. Guess what kind of computer system they use.
A VAX 750.

| Yes, but do you trust a reporter that identifies the 11/750 as a
"superminicomputer"?

| Re: .4
What's the complaint? That term has been standard for the VAX-class
family for years. Not to be confused with "minisupercomputer".

| Since it is *OBVIOUSLY* inappropriate to respond to 500.6 (containing
one Noter's personal opinions on Mike Dukakis and his contribution to
the "Massachusetts Miracle"), might I ask that the moderators hide it?

| Re my last (.4?):
OK, I take that back; maybe it's just because an 11/750 seems such
a weakling by today's standards, or maybe it's because I was getting
my minisupers and superminis confused. I guess the term must date
to when the 750 was new and truly was super by those standards.
FWIW: The Computer Museum uses the same term to describe their 750
(in a publication that doesn't mention their 11/780 or Sequent 8000).

| Oneof the peopple on his campaign staff was interviewed about a
week ago and sitting in full view in the background was nothing
other than a VT100. :-)

| VT100's are still going well .... our local weather man's "stage"
contains both a VT100 and a VT220 in the background ....

| My guess is that the VT100 is a VT125. There is probably a color
monitor nearby as well. The VT125 is a bit faster form graphics
(which weather men like) then the VT24x.

| As far as television goes, has anyone noticed the scads of VT220's
and VT241's in the background of the news studio at CNN? It looks
like Turner Broadcasting is a major customer ...

Take a look at the mock keyboard on the wall -- CIT (who makes the CIT220, a
terminal hard to tell from a VT220 from a distance) made some of the changes
many people asked for on the LK201, and the mock-up has those changes.
