Every once in a while, I go on eBay, search for VAXstations, and fantasize about buying one. Maybe one day I'll actually pull the trigger. There's one for $650

Every once in a while, I go on eBay, search for VAXstations, and fantasize about buying one. Maybe one day I'll actually pull the trigger.
There's one for $650 now that says it's fully working and comes with a licensed copy of VAX/VMS. There are also a few in the $150-200 range but I don't know if they have an OS on them or not.

- zargon 7y agoIt was 20 years ago that I bought my first VAXstation 3100 on eBay for under $100. Later got a VAXstation 4000 and an AlphaServer 2100. Got rid of them all during a period of downsizing. Along with some nice terminals and other DEC equipment. Kinda regret that now.
