I had only remembered the picture of the Marilyn Monroe look-alike draping
herself over it. :)

what would be cool, would be to hide a laptop somewhere in it; install x86
VMS on it (or make Linux look like VMS); hook up some serial terms to it;
and offer people a chance to sit at a VAX "just for nostalgia value"... then
pull open the case and offer them a drink. :)
