Same here, plus I've been using my ID which expired well over a year ago to
get licenses (just tried renewing a couple months ago).
Now if they'd update the Hobbyist Media kits! I just got done buying
OpenVMS V7.2-1H1 and getting a March 2001 ConDist off of eBay so that I
could move to the current software. In fact as I type I'm loading my
PWS433au with V7.2-1H1 in preparation to have it become my primary VMS
machine.
BTW, any OpenVMS Hobbyists that haven't seen it yet, I'd really recommend
looking at the stuff on the V5 Freeware CD. As far as I know the CD's
aren't available yet. When I ordered the V7.2-1H1 update I also ordered
the Freeware CD and got V4 (which is what I wanted). However, V5 is online
at the OpenVMS website. From what I hear there is so much stuff on V5 that
it only has new versions of stuff from V4 and it now takes 2 CD's.
