| 448.1 | SBPEXE SUCKS ! | CURRNT::DAW | The Real thing ....... | Wed Nov 13 1991 17:44 | 8 |

If it'll work, I'll second it !
Surely anything is better than everyone on SBPEXE (virtually everyone
in TPEC) being workstationless, and spending hours doing nothing/G-time.
Everyone except me that is of course !

Dunno where the idea was first mooted but I'm working on it :^)
Re: .1
Wob,
SBPEXE is a Digital VAX Computer running the VMS Operating System
(sometimes)
As such it doesn't have a mouth - therefore it DOESN'T SUCK!!!

| 448.3 | VAXes don't suck.... | HEWIE::RUSSELL | Hari Krishna, Hari Ramsden, Hari Hari | Sat Nov 16 1991 18:41 | 9 |
| The advertising line actually was
"Nothing sucks like an Electrolux".
Instead of passing a bucket round for Children in Need, howabout a campaign
for "System Manager in Need of an HSC" instead.....

| 448.4 | But have you got a star coupler ! | FUTURS::WATSON | Rik Watson | Mon Nov 18 1991 10:23 | 10 |
| As an HSC50 is only a PDP11/70 in a different box why not use one of
those :-)
Also they (HCS50's) don't cost that much - I've seen the second hand
for about �3000 in DECcomputing I guess you _may_ be able to get the
even cheaper via IMM ?
�3000 is about 120 man hours at �25 per hour - so with say 20 users on
'EXE it would only need to be down for 6 hours for us to be in a break -
even situation.

I HOPE to get my sticky little fingers on an HSC within the next couple
of weeks - things are looking up in this area.
In addition there is a possibility that I can 'acquire' an 8700 to use so
that we get an 8700/8530 CI Cluster (I've already secreted a Star Coupler
away)
re: -1
Rik, you'd be VERY lucky to get an HSC from IMM - they tend to refurbish
and flog 'em to customers for loadsamoney... but I do look :^)

Now that sounds like fun.
A cluster booting the workstations. How about re-introducing the dual
system-disk thing again? It might not have been the most elegant
method going, and it was a bit complicated, but it *was* fast. Aren't
there any applications about that help dual-system-disk management?
