Still pineing for my own VMS machine

A month or so ago, I wanted to get the hobbyist CD. When I went to the
web site, I saw that it was sold out. So I sent Montagar an E-mail
asking them if/when it would be back in stock. They told me they didn't
know when, and that I could still register for a license, and borrow
someone else's media to install from. What is the difference whether I
borrow their media for a few hours, or make a copy to use when I need
it?

No idea. I'm pretty sure I've seen trustworthy
people indicate that this can be done and that
the licence allows you to get media anyway
you can, including copying. If you can find
a statement to that effect on either the montagar
webpage or somewhere in the OpenVMS web
pages, that'll do for me. Quite how you convince
anyone that you have a hobbyist licence is
another matter.
