As a follow-up to a follow-up, I wish to clarify the points made in my
original posting.  I was not and have never criticized Digital Equipment
Corportation.  I truly believe that they make excellent equipment and do
everything necessary to maintain that reputation.

My criticisms were directed toward the Computer Science department for 
letting things get as bad as they did.  Computer systems, as Mr. Anthony
can attest to, need routine maintenance and checks.  These checks would
probably have prevented many of the problems that have occurred.

From what I have been told, DEC has been extremely helpful and cooperative.
Considering that the VAX is not running a DEC operating system, this fact is
even a more remarkable statement.

I apologize for any misinterpretations that may have arisen.
If you don't agree with or have any comments about something that I say, please 
address comments to me directly.

Sorry for this being on comp.sys.mac.

-Michael
