Hey - I just shut down a VAX.  It, VMS and pre-version-number IDL were
all running just fine, thank you.  (Can't say as much for the 3rd party
hardware connected to it.)  We got it second hand several years ago and
had never paid a $0.01 in hardware maintenance.  Wish I could say as
much for the PeeCee's I have to use.
