<br><br>Sure to be of interest to some LUGs - our meetings<br>
were often an excuse to wallow in nostalgia :-)<br>

Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
Nice to see some traffic on the list!<br>
<br>
Hope people don't mind but I'd like to mention an event I'm organising<br>
in April in Windermere - the primary focus is for folks interested in<br>
DEC, Compaq and HP kit, both historic and modern, but, for example, I'll<br>
be demonstrating an HP dual Itanium-2 based workstation running Debian<br>
5.04 (which considering the box is a few years old it does very nicely).<br>
I'll also be bringing along a DEC 1000A Alpha server which has an eight<br>
canister drive array built in and may see how many operating system<br>
variants can be installed (I think there are at least six out there). If<br>
you've never tried OpenVMS I'd also recommend coming along and having a<br>
play - it's a nice juxtaposition to the Unix philosophy and well worth a<br>
look - there will also be a programming competition, talks, some<br>
seriously old kit such as PDP/8s, 11s, etc. to ponder over.<br>
<br>
More details on the website: <a href="http://declegacy.org.uk" target="_blank">http://declegacy.org.uk</a><br>
All proceeds going to the National Museum of Computing.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Mark.<br>
<br>
<br>
