VAX on, VAX off

In “geewiz explores computer history” news, I’m now an official member of DECUS, the Digital Equipment Corporation User Society! The reason is that HP (who bought Compaq who bought DEC) issue a Hobbyist License to DECUS members who’d like to install OpenVMS for funsies. And I have to admit, working with an old-school operating system that isn’t unixoid has been a great experience so far. I’ll do a live installation of OpenVMS on my Twitch stream tomorrow.
