DEC VAX 11/780 in Seven (1995)
The VAX is in service in the Police's fingerprint department.
The poor old 780 would be nearly twenty years old in 1995 - no wonder it took a while to match the fingerprints!

Snurt, The VAX-11/780 was introduced in 1977. 1995 - 1977 = 18 years.

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.
