Dear fellow Hobbyists,

I think it's time to introduce myself. I am 32 years old, I live in Austria at the countryside, and I am working as a UNIX (<-- go on and flame me smiley ) System Manager in Vienna.

I have always been fascinated by DEC and their cool hardware, which of course I couldn't afford then. Some years ago I started collecting DEC workstations and playing around with VMS.

Today my DEC collection consists of:
DECStation 3000
DECStation 5000/255
DEC 3000 AXP
DECpc 486
AlphaStation 255
AlphaStation 500/400
2 x VT440

...and some days ago I acquired my first VAX smiley - a VAXStation 3100/30

So I am very glad about the Hobbyist program and I really appreciate what your guys are doing. Thank you so much.


Best regards
Bert

Congratulations, you have a very nice collection of DEC gear.

You'll probably find the VAXstation a bit slow ....

No more VAX hobbyist licenses. Community licenses for Alpha/IA64/X86_64 VMS Software Inc. Commercial VMS software licenses for VAX available from HPE.

Just re-visiting.. No more hobbyist licenses? Is that from vmssoftware.com, no 'community' licenses?

I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner

Anyone know what happened to FAFNER.DYNDS.ORG? I had a hobbyist account here but can longer access the site.

At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.

Eisner, which is currently being moved, got an SSH update and the keys were updated to more modern encryption standards.
