You know that. I know that. You probably even know about Vaxen with PDP consoles. The GCN reporter not only didn't know that, he munged it up in a particularly stoopid way. I wish I had kept the article, had it on my cube for a while. I should have been more precise, the article specifically said pdp-11/70 VMS, and had several munges of the two architectures, obviously from not comprehending disparate press releases.
