IMHO the PDP / VAX was one of the finest engineering products to come from the US.
No matter how much Microsoft do (and they do a lot of excellent work), there was an elegance with the PDP / VAX computers which can never be recaptured. Anyone who is interested - there are free emulators for the Intel chip - we use VAX emulators to maintain old software for customers.
