That reminds me - add to your shopping list a DEC Alpha (don't bother
with a VAX - too big for something with i486 power) that you can put VMS
on (you'll also be able to put Tru64 UNIX or Linux on it). I think you
can still get "hobbyist" VMS licenses for free. The file system will
blow your mind; I don't know if anyone else ever had anything as
sophisticated.
