Question regarding a VAXstation

Thanks to everybody for the information. Indeed, the missing
mouse was the culprit. The next time it loaded VAX/VMS V 5.5;
it started by asking for the date, and I made the mistake
of actually providing the current date; as it loaded,
I got about a hundred instances of "license has expired for XXXXXXX",
with XXXXX being a bunch of installed software, including FORTRAN and
Pascal compilers and a lot of things that looked like networking stuff.
Oh, well, I guess that by booting the machine I have stripped
it of a lot of software. Finally, a login screen popped up,
but nobody around here remembers any user name or password.


It is the first time that I have seen a machine boot VMS. Nice.

Carlos.
