Question: I thought that the hobbyist program had
been
slowed to a Beaurocratic standstill (corporate non-funding?).
A while back people were saying that they hadn't got
responses to eMail. Am I suffering from a misconception?
Has the hobbyist program gone green-light?
I'm thinking the problem people are having is getting their Encompass
(DECUS) memberships. I just renewed my Hobbyist licenses recently (I
really wish these license weren't limited to one year!
Compaq really has nothing to do with the VMS hobbyist program other thank
sanctioning it. OTOH, they activelly support the Tru64 Hobbyist Program.
I for one would gladly pay the $100 the Tru64 Hobbyist costs in order to
get as good a OpenVMS Hobbyist program! With Tru64 you get a set of CD's,
permanent license PAKs, and you can buy upgrades at a drastically reduced
cost! Only problem is, I'm running OpenVMS on my Alpha's not Tru64 :^)
