Which reminds me... I was setting up that Linux Blade server at 
$BIG_BANK and while I was waiting for each blade to load new blade proc 
firmware I was wandering around looking at all the great equipment.  
Lots of great Sun, IBM pSeries, iSeries, and other objets d'art.  I 
noticed lots with Retire stickers on them and one prize with a sticker 
for Retire that I seriously wanted to rescue... no leads on how to get 
their retire stuff yet.  It's all intercepted for the most part so none 
goes in the trash (thank goodness for that at least)... it was a Vax 
4000-100.

It was labeled as part of the Ultrix development group.
