The VAX is in service in the Police's fingerprint department.

Importance: ***
Realism: ***
The poor old 780 would be nearly twenty years old in 1995 - no wonder it took a while to match the fingerprints!

Don't knock it! Many 780s are still in operation today and running fine. (Remember the news of a few years ago, US nuclear miasile silos still running 1980s software with 8 inch floppy diaks?) In 2017, the FIRST security hole in the VMS operating system was discovered, 32 yeaes after VMS came onto the market.
