RE: Making a List

Rebecca,

        Actually you can still get a brand new VAX emulator from a company 
called
SRI (Software Resources International) in Europe.  They have a long standing
relationship with Compaq (and now HP).  The down side is that you can't buy
a new VMS license.  You have to transfer a license from a VAX to the
emulated VAX.

Thanx,
        Jon

Yes it's true that you can't buy a "new" VAX anymore. All they
sell are ALPHAs, and I'm not even sure they're making those
anymore. When Digital was bought by Compaq, the VAX and ALPHA
were pushed to the back shelf. Now that HP owns Compaq and hence
Digital, VAX and ALPHA are probably going to drop off the face
of the earth.
