Carlin,
 
At the risk of depressing the market value of used 780s, I note 
that unless you are getting power, air conditioning, and office 
space for free, the 780 is extremely expensive relative to the 
latest (or for that matter last 6!) generations of small vax 
hardware. So, you may want to check into the cost of the small 
VAXstation 4000/VLC.
