Well, it's a tradeoff, isn't it?  You can read nothing that ever comes to
you, and spend all your time running around re-inventing the wheel.  Or,
you can do nothing but read all day long, have all of the answers, and no
time to do your job.  I still claim that you can't be an effective and
useful system manager without reading DR.  If all you do is kernel mode
programming, that's one thing.  But who has a job description that narrow
these days?

It depends on whether you consider a VAX-11/780 a PDP-11.  If you define a
PDP-11 as a system which runs PDP-11 code "native" (i.e., without software
emulators, as in the newer VAX systems), the VAX-11/780 is a fine PDP-11
which happens to run VMS.  Also, since you can microcode it yourself, it
can run WPS-8 as well (and does).
