Unfortunately I received this email on Monday at 5:11 P.M.
Fortunately I was also a vendor at the MIT swapfest, selling off some of my
collection of computers, and happened to end up only one vendor's stall away
from Anush and the FSF sale.
Since I was there mostly to SELL things rather than BU
My first language was FORTRAN, using punched cards on an IBM 1130 in 1969, but
when I went to teach at Hartford State Technical College in 1977-1980 we used
BASIC-PLUS on a DEC PDP 11/70 running RSTS/E as a time-sharing operating system.
Students in those days had no computers at home, and many
I will second the RIP of DLSLUG.
The "Greater New Hampshire Linux User's Group" (GNHLUG) and its offshoots over
the years in Nashua, Durham, Hanover, Manchester, and (at one time, Keene) was
a good run.
Having started with the first one in 1995 in Durham, GNHLUG (pronounced like

I also disagree with many items in the article.
Ignoring architectures like the PDP-11 and implying that multi-user started
with VMS is just plain wrong. The PDP-11 was a premier platform for
multi-user operating systems like RSTS, RSX-11, and Unix to name just a few.

Hi Ted,
I read this a couple of days ago, and looked at the whole bill.
There seems to be a disconnect between what I read as the meaning of the bill:
AN ACT prohibiting, with limited exceptions, state agencies from requiring use
of proprietary software in interactions with the public.
and wha
I went to the meeting and spoke on this bill and the one immediately following
it that was much the same (but shorter).
I concentrated on creation of local jobs instead of sending lots of cash to
Redmond and Silicon Valley, and the fallacy of thinking about short term TCO
instead of long term R
This is very sad news indeed.
RIP, Alex!

The venue was fine for dinner and beer, but bad for a "meeting" over-all for a
couple of reasons:
o It was too noisy
o we had two tables where we all sat, and while each table could talk among
themselves, it was hard to talk across tables. It was also hard to move
