| We're Back On-line... |
 Sorry for the interruption of service. I had two DS10L Alphas fail while I was on vacation. It doesn't look too major, as the LED codes appear to show it's just fan failures. I'll get some new fans, and everything will be happy again.
Isn't that always when problems occur? When you're out of town? Couldn't happen while I was home, no... |

| XLANDER! |
 Colin Butcher has graced us with a OpenVMS version of the XLander game. Can you pilot your lunar lander to a safe landing on the moon?
VAX and Alpha binaries are included. If there is enough interest, we might be able to convince him to work on Integrity binaries, too!
Available in the Downloads section under Games |

| Tru64 Unix Advanced File System now Open Source |
Okay, not really an OpenVMS thing, but from us folks that have been playing with Digital Equipment products for a few years, this is pretty cool.
The Tru64 Unix Advanced File System (AdvFS) has been released as Open Source. This means anyone can download the source code for it, and it will probably start showing up in various Unix deployments.
If you want to take a look, check out the site web page at Source Forge. |

| New Photos! |
| Hobbyist m2-guy has graced the OpenVMS Hobbyist site with a variety of photos in the VAX Hardware and Digital Equipment.albums. Some good board-level pictures of some of the rock-solid, built-to-last Digital Equipment technology. It all probably still works, too... Thanks! |

| New emulator available |
 Go and see the emulator of AlphaServer ES40 on http://sourceforge.net/projects/es40/
From the SourceForge Project Page:
I've made a new cvs snapshot available on the download page.
20080318_1530 has the following changes from release 0.18:
- Fixed some IDE CD-ROM issues that were introduced with the
multi-threading patch. (17-mar-2008, Brian Wheeler)
- Restored SDL functionality. (16-mar-2008, Camiel
Vanderhoeven)
- Better exception handling, restored Serial port menu
functionality (14-mar-2008, Camiel Vanderhoeven)
- Ability to stop and restart threads, restored save/restore
state functionality. (13-mar-2008, Camiel Vanderhoeven)
- Use separate threads for devices rather than crowding
everything into one thread. Use Poco libraries for platform
independent threading. NOTE: This patch breaks some
functionality that we will need to regain in the future.
