At 1988 this was THE computer to dream about. The fanciest machine you could ever dream about. This particular "little" machine has been singlehandedly controlling the operation in a steel factory for more than 10 years as a main control computer.
I remember my whole college was running on a VAX back in 1988/1989. It was definitely big a step up from the 8088s I'd been using in High School computer class!
