DECUS used to be real good. They reinitialized my old membership
which got dropped (somehow) for inactivity overnight... the next day
I got the licenses off the web. Unfortunately I still haven't gotten
the VaxStation up yet. (too much real work and too much time playing
with the Sun stuff at home lately)...
Of course, they`ve shrunk in size and been dounsized to hell.
The SIG groups got cut back. They got way too political after
Ken Olson left and Palmer came in.
Anyway, I got my package from them with the new ID card in a couple of days
after they got my request.

The license from the hobbyist site will cover the layered apps for
non-commercial use (includsing languages)

Boy... it's been too long away from VAX/VMS for this old DEC tech...
12 years is a long time.
