Was there a VAX 4300 in the late 80's - early 90's ?

Can't recall the number off the top of my head.

Some of those have been around for a long time...odd that they are just now going into a dictionary. Spit Take...heck there was even a scene in Blazing Saddles where the waco kid does a spit take. And blazing saddles came out in 74

IBM had a line of mainframes that started with "43" I think I recall...something like the 4380 or something, around that time

That movie is one I can watch almost everyday.
That one and Shark: Rosso Nell'Oceano (also known as Devil Fish).

True classics.
