Meh, I wanted to check out #OpenVMS , but apparently they do not offer any type of license to hobbyists or similar.Sucks,

@selea Yeah I was waiting for a month and never received a reply. In the end I found an iso, installed it on a Pi and used a script to generate activation codes for the modules

@jonn_blanchard I really need to check it out, I have no idea how it works or anything.I first heard about VMS this spring when I had an interview with someone.

@selea Ah, I started my career on Vax/VMS - it's a wonderful system. I always intended to pick up a VT420 and connect it to a Raspberry Pi running OpenVMS

@jonn_blanchard I think it is sad that they hide behind a commercial license, I do think it is beneficial for themselves if more people got used to it or atleast know a littlebit

@selea It used to be available, there was the Hobbyist program a few years ago - but they seem to have quietly closed it

@jonn_blanchard @selea seriously. When I realized that Windows has VMS heritage but VMS still has a lot of different stuff about it, I wanted to try it. Guess I never will now!(Schedule is busy atm, now would not have been a great time to go for it- but it was on the list.)

@tacoman_x86 @selea It might change, I hope so. It was a great system, one I have fond memories of

@selea @tacoman_x86 It's worth a shot. And you can join one of the hobby communities too - in case that ever becomes a thing again
