Speaking of MPE, I've always wanted to play around with MPE (I used
HP2000's in the past, and do sysadmin for various hp9000's, but never got
to play with a 3000).
Any tips/pointers on how to get access to MPE without spending much money
(or having much space)?
thanks.

As someone stated, it's dead. It's just taken longer than expected to die.
HP will have two unfashionable midrange OS's.
I wonder if OpenVMS will
suffer 'from not invented here' syndrome, even though I think it is more
modernized and versatile than MPE/IX.
OpenVMS is what's got me scared!
