Nice.
Funny you should mention OpenVMS in this context. I had in mind to run
my simh/Hobbyist instance, pemvax.dragonsweb.org (offline at the
moment), on a vm on the 4400, but I might wait till I get an HP/Compaq
machine for that. It's on an old Tyan Thunderbolt box right now,
but running it on a Dell seems like dropping a small-block 350 into a
Mustang, for some reason. Just not done ;-)

Like to run them, not store them
If I had the space and energy bills weren't such a worry I would
too :)
My latest acquisition is a barely marginally
topical Dell Poweredge
4400 from 1999. It will save on running the heater this winter,
though.
I have a HP zx6000 Integrity machine for that. OpenVMS at 1000mph...
with extra heating :D The Alpha PWS does a pretty decent job of that
too.
