I think I might spend the money and get the True64Unix software for this box. It's a
little steep in price but I've wanted a True64Unix box for awhile. I will however get
the Alpha VMS CD from the Hobbyist program just in case I get a wild hair. By the
way, is the Compaq True64Unix offer the same as others, you pay for the media and
shipping and the license is free? If so...anyone interested in making a copy of their
T64U for the cost of media and shipping? It can't be as much as Compaq wants.

That's probably the best approach. :^)

Thanks!
