Hi Everyone,

I'm Russell Jays and I live in Nottingham. For many years I supported
Cobol applications on VAXen and Aphas. These days, I only support
other operating systems for a living so am a hobbyist to fill my need
for real computing! Maybe one day I'll do a proper job again.

My small collection includes an AphaServer 800, DEC 3000,
VAX 4000/600, VaxStation 4000/90, Microvax 3100 and VaxStation 3100.

Having found hobbyist links/downloads/information to be very scattered,
I think that these forums are an excellent idea to help to bring us all
together and try to build more of a community.

If I can help, I certainly will try, but I know that there are many out there
with much greater knowledge and experience than me.

Keep Posting everyone!!!

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.
