You would do yourself and the school district a favor by putting a modern
computer in there instead. A PC/AT outperforms a Vax 750 and uses nowhere
near the electricity or air conditioning. How do you plan on paying to
keep the 750 running? What kind of computers does the school already have?
Maybe they would be better off with something that can connect to their
undoubtedly Mac or Apple-II based setup.
