[rescue] My first functional VAX

[Michael Schiller]

Hey, I've got a hobbiest license on my 4000VLC (for OpenVMS 7.2) but I think it's
at least a year old. Since membership in DECUS (or whatever they've renamed it to)
now costs $$$ I'm no longer a member. Does that mean I have to stop using the
machine? (that I'm not using anyway)
