(0) A 6'Hx10'W superwall of VAX, VMS, and
layered product manuals. There
is an orange wall, a grey wall, a white wall, a multicolored wall,
another white wall, and so on. I don't remember how far back it goes,
Orange will be V4 and grey will be V5. Newer than that (V6 and V7) will be
the perfect bound white books. That's assuming these are all VMS manuals - it's
possible, given the history, that you may have scored some RT11, RSTS or RSX stuff.
(1) About 100 blank magtapes, as soon as
<name> runs them through the
bulk eraser.
If these are original DEC media tapes (rather than people's data) it might be
possible to persuade him not to erase them, since the hobbyist program allows
you to use them. (OTOH it might be safer to wipe them any way from <name>'s
point
of view).

He said that some contain student data. So those have to get bulked.
He also said that he had software but I couldn't have it. I told him about
the hobbyist program, but at the time I didn't know enough about it to
really say anything knowledgable. If I told him I was licensed for sure, he
might change his mind.
I just filled out the online Encompass Associate membership form. Anyone
know how long it takes to get a response?
