Abstract
The heroes and the winners will always be there for us to study and find inspiration from. We´re in no danger of forgetting them or overlooking what they accomplish. But we can learn lessons from the other end of human existence, too. It was an easy extrapolation to determine when the VAX performance curve would cross with the minicomputer curve. We resolved then and there to switch back to microprocessor design.
