  A DoD contractor facility that I worked for many years ago was still
running their 11/750 as recently as a year ago.  It crunches data from
airborne multispectral pushbroom imagers.  It does the job fine, the
army pays the electric bill, and it's damn hard to get new machines
cleared...so there it runs. :-)
