    ... It's easy to forget that despite being wildly successful DEC had quite limited engineering resources, which had to be divided between continuing the vigorous development of all the existing hardware and software systems that were producing all our revenue, plus all the new VAX development, plus the many and varied new areas into which DEC was expanding. ... When the PDP-11 'Professional' PCs failed to take off by 1984-5, the last hope of continued vigorous 16-bit development died with them (an error some of us tried to point out at the time, because VAXen wouldn't be able to compete in the same space for another 4 - 5 years, but by that time DEC just wasn't in a good position to undertake much of *anything* in the way of new projects outside the exploding VMS ecosystem). ... funding (VAX 9000, Cuttler's Prism and Alpha). ...

And my response was that this effectively limited the market for VAXen to either single-socket systems or to customers willing to pay through the nose for the development of new, multi-socket VAX systems - because for anyone requiring more than single-VAX-socket performance Alpha offered a *far* less expensive path to it. ...
