I first encountered VAX/VMS on a VAX 11/780 at Rose-Hulman in 1981, and was in awe of a machine that could do a million floating point operations per second! R

I first encountered VAX/VMS on a VAX 11/780 at Rose-Hulman in 1981, and was in awe of a machine that could do a million floating point operations per second! Recently, I got one running in SimH in my android phone, and it runs OpenVMS 7.3. Telnetting into the VAX in my pocket was something I just had to do. I too haven't been able to get a community license for the x86 port, yet.
