WHERE IN THE WORLD DO I GET THIS STUFF?
 Google leads me around and around. I've created VMSware accounts,
Broadcom accounts, gawd only knows where account, etc. I still don't
have this software to download and run this VMS X86.

Well, ever since aioe.org went south, I've been forced to use Unison on my Mac for news. The damn Unison thing pukes up a hairball nearly every time I touch the keyboard which is why I've been so absent here. I so miss using newsrdr on VMS.
Anyway, after much anquish, I do dinally have VMS running on an HP 17-cn0021nr (???) laptop with Intel Quad-Core i5-10210U (???), 32GB memory, 1TB storage and, the best of all, NO WEENDOZE!!! It arrived with Linux Mint installed. I'm not a fan of the Mint UI but since this will basically be a VMS "server" I don't care.
I finally got VMS to boot with the Virtualbox emulator late evening yesterday. After little more finagling earlier this morning and I was able to ssh into it from my Mac! I'd perfer to be able to use the Mac as its iTerm does a fairly faithful emulation of a VT terminal and I can use the extended keyboard too to give me a functional alternate keypad. Now, all I need to do is get this thing working in a cluster environment so that I can share my source code drives and get RMS-CDC ported and maybe a few more things too!!!
