I could have a roomfull of them but my father refused to let me have them. His work threw out hundreds, people are bitching about the war on Iraq well there are beautiful machines suffering. :( :( :(

I think we should start a petition for a Geneva Convention that covers the rights of awesome hardware.

Definitely. Even if the harddrives are trashed for security reasons, the hardware should be donated to people who are willing to take care of the systems.

Hey hey, there's no need to attack the little guy. You're just as guilty of immaturity here as he is. Just relax and let it go.


of course that must be true, since muzzy said so...

Annoyingly large images. The request in large caracters attracts enough attention; do not overdo it.


Sorry, I was just ripping MrX he always uses large retarded pictures. I wouldn't have done this in a non-MrX thead and I won't do it again.

Why haven't you binned this shit isn't it obvious this thread is going nowhere?

Well, sorry if I come off as a useless dingbat, but I do not see why I should bin a thread which started off as Mr.X showing off his creations (whether you wish to call it art or not I will leave up to you). Besides, Kintaro and Muzzy were starting an interesting discussion about VAX machines and VMS.

laukev7 it is good to see that somebody around here is more interested in open discussion than in pointless adherence to rules and regulations!

Yes the VMS kernel is pretty rad,

NT isn't really the VMS kernel.  They were written by the same guy, but aren't that much alike.  VMS had a lot more features (like native clustering).

Besides, NT was written based on the *original* VMS kernel, yet, by the time NT was developed, the then-current VMS kernel had been extensively modified.  If you looked at it today, NT probably bears no resemblence to  whatever the latest VMS is (OpenVMS, I believe).

Sorry I didn't make myself clear I was refering to his shitty "First post" "200th post" and BeOS spam.

How about changing the title to reflect this change maybe something like "MrX's art and VMS debate"

David Cutler and some of the VAX team I believe.

NT is better than the other MS operating systems because it was develoed by different people, but to MS' specification though so it wasn't as good as VMS.

Did they release it under the GPL then?

Or is OpenVMS a GPLed VMS clone.

Anyway has anyone tried OpenVMS?

If so is it any good?

Despite the name, it's not open source at all.  It's owned by HP and they don't do much with it anymore.  (read: They're trying to kill it.)  It runs on Itanium, VAX (what's left of it), and Alpha (what's left of it).  There is a community-type site, http://www.openvms.org, with a homepage title of "OpenVMS: The OS with longer uptimes than MS Windows support policies." :D
