VAX 11/785

[Doug Gwyn]

About the only reason I can see to fork over $91K ($95K with FPA) for
an upgrade of your VAX-11/780 to a VAX-11/785 is that you need more
CPU power ON THE VAX YOU HAVE.  If you can acquire a second computer
system, there are many more cost-effective ways to get about 50% of
a VAX-11/780; for example, you could buy 30 Macintoshes and get 1500%
of the power of a 780 (not the best alternative, but it is a remarkable
contrast).
