the 'cure' for no

However, I've noticed that some 8-bit home computer threads don't seem to
go anywhere. A couple of weeks back somebody posted about that
I think that it is safe to say that while the list is for "Classic
Computers", it has a *VERY* strong DEC orientation. There is also a very
large number of messages on "generic" hardware issues and "generic"
data
archival issues.
Perhaps part of the problem is that there are better places to go for
things such as C64's, Apple ]['s, Amiga's and the like. I honestly don't
know. I do know that I typically do not ask VMS questions here, rather I go
to comp.os.vms.
I do know that in my case I have almost no room at home for Classic Computer
stuff, as a result the classic systems that I have at home right now that
aren't hopelessy buried are a couple VAXen, a pair of PDP-11's, and a C-64.
I also have almost no free time, so the main system that sees *any* use is
the VAXstation 4000/vlc (it is my DECnet Area Router).
