  No offense...but I had to laugh out loud when I read this.  I'll try
to find some pictures to put up on my web server...but a MicroVAX II
is one of the smallest VAXen ever built.  A VAX-11/780, for example,
is over five feet high, about five feet wide, and about three feet
deep.  But that's a very old machine.

  A VAX8978 is a better example of more recent, *large* technology.
It is a cluster built from eight 8700 processors and four SA800 disk
arrays.  That VAX will very easily fill a large room.  An incredibly
powerful machine, too.
