Windows 2000 certainly had all the same support for fast graphics graphics
as Windows XP. Plenty of gamers actually preferred Win2k over XP because it
was lighter weight and could deliver better frame rates under some
circumstances.

The museum had been one of Paul Allen's private passion projects. Sadly, he
died rather unexpectedly and he hadn't really had time to set up a proper
legal entity to protect it after his death, so it and all his other passion
projects ended up controlled by his wife's real estate company which
Very cool. Maybe this will cause some of the documentation and software
that have been locked away in various private archives to finally shake
loose!

The recent discussion of the sudden disappearance of DtCyber and the
various classic CDC software to run on it from the Internet has got me
thinking about just how precarious so much of computer history is in. So
much of what's out there online (and in person) today is at risk just

What happened? Looking back at my emails, the list was operating normally
until September 3. Then it just stopped. There were normal discussions
going on. There was no flood of spam. As far as I can tell, nothing occured
that would trigger a rage quit.
Is the software and documentation that was

IIRC, Xterm has ReGIS and Sixel support in it's code these days, but most
Linux distro disable those features in their prepackaged builds for
some reason.

So what happened to cancel the release? Did Apple get cold feet and

Something in another recent thread about LISP machines got me wondering:
how many early graphical systems are well emulated (or emulated at all)? I
know that there are more or less functional emulations of Alto, Star, and
Lisa out there, but what about the various LISP machines or the early
hardware of the early to mid 90s than X11...

Has anybody even been able to get the X-based version to build? I remember
finding it on some Unix/Linux source code CD-ROM like 20 years ago,
thinking it sounded useful and cool, and trying to build it on whatever

In practical terms, I suspect that running VMS on a VAX (real or emulated)
will end up a lot like running DEC's PDP-11 software. Not technically
legal, but also not a practical problem, because the people who own the
rights simply don't care and aren't going to waste their time and resources

Is that the right link? The video I saw was talking about setting up
failover in clusters.

This thread has been truly enlightening. I had no idea that UniSys had
hobbyist versions of both their Univac and Burroughs stuff available. I'll
have to give them both a try. Is there any software out there for them or
is the general idea that you're supposed to write your own?

Indeed. This looks bad. Hopefully they can pull a rabbit out of their hat
and figure out how to reopen, but I'm not holding my breath.

Great news. I look forward to trying it out. Other than compilers, is there
much else to run on Prime at the moment? Do any applications still exist to
try and run? Is Prime Information (apparently the platform's "killer app")
available? Are there any games? Was there the equivalent of a DECUS or
The PDP-11 and VAX versions of BSD have been freely available for years. As
soon as V7 and 32V were declared open source, that meant that everybody had

IIRC, System III is not really "legal", as it was never re-licensed with a

Well that's sad news. Since VMS Software may or may not ever launch a
proper hobbyist program and has stated that they don't have the ability to
issue licenses for VAX versions of VMS, that means we have until 2021 to
legally use VMS on the vintage hardware or emulations. After that, I guess
