Cut my teeth on PDP-11 using RT11 to control data loggers. Spent many a happy time with VAXs, started with a 750, ended with an 8810. Company still has a 6610. I was coding in Macro32, Fortran, Basic+. but ended up running Oracle 7 with forms 3.

I am currently running 8600 emulation on simh from a bsd jail of my freenas server but struggling to get ipv6 on multinet running cleanly, lots of opcom messages regarding invalid configs, but think they cascade out of the simh rather than the 8600 emulation, will need to try my freeaxp. Although we did move to alpha it was for a small project that never took off and the machine was scrapped before I could pinch it for my own use.

God bless Ken Olson. He had vision and produced some wonderful kit in its day.

Yeh.DRDOS got me out of a few scrapes in the old-days in win95/98

My Win7 machines are boringly stable.Can't remember when I had to re-install<grin>

and even if I do I have the install on a super fast USB stick

On the phone waiting to speak to EE retentions department and I've had to suffer the same Ed Sheeran song 3 times.

I've got nothing against him, he seems like a decent chap, and he's ginger, but you can't get away from his music.

+1 for 4 seasons. When I was a claims handler I had to listen to it every time I had to call a 3rd party insurer. Several times a day. Hated the bloody thing.

Bloody car. Suddenly making an awful noise. I was planning on replacing it later this year, not 2 weeks before a mammoth weekend of driving. Haven't had time to save the deposit for a replacement. Looks like leasing is the answer.

The scumbags that wreaked havoc on the NHS systems have probably stopped me having a test ride later today. The whole of the .GOV domain appears to be down including the page where you get a licence code that some dealers insist on before they let you out. Car hire companies also need them now there is no paper counterpart to the driving licence so I can imagine there are lots of unhappy people on both sides of the desk at Hertz/Alamo/etc all over the country.

If it's not back up before 1pm it will be two weeks before I have time to try again

Developed a stye. Bloody pain and hoping it doesn't affect my vision as I'm riding and driving millions of miles in the next few weeks.
