2. Living Museums of DEC software

 
PS: I meant to add, that, of course, the VAX/VMS Living Museum, and the
AXP/VMS Living Museum, would be in a mixed cluster.
 

PPS: I also meant add, memory failing me (Elderly Correction Code)-
these days I need bootstrap glasses to find my actual glasses - that VSI
should establish the "VSI Technical Journal" PDF publication, with a
full, established, ISSN, to indictate that VSI is more than a sunset
enterprise catering to a sunset customer base, and that the renaissance
and re-efflorescence of the VMS ecosystem is both likely and possible,
and that a long future is probable.

I am sure that there are many in VSI engineering with war stories to
tell, could they afford time away from the Hephasteusean software forges
to pen quality monographs.

On a technical note, my loose-caboose, helter-skelter, to-do list, shoe
box, is actually a VT220 documentation box - forty years old, and still
going strong - DEC also managed to source quality cardboard boxes!
