Tárgy: Updated VMS Information
Dear Distribution Lists,
Enclosed please find the bi-weekly VMS update. This update includes a
wide range of information for your use.
**** Question to the VMS Community: In talking to Ken Farmer the
owner
of www.openvms.org where the VMS audio cast resides. There is very
little feedback on the audio cast even though there are over 1500
downloads per audio cast. Is this something that the community
values?
What do you want to hear, do you have feedback if so they need to
hear
or I am afraid it will go away (my opinion) give your feedback one way
or another. http://www.openvms.org/pages.php?page=Feedback
Please keep in mind my usual disclaimers. This is not an official
newsletter its just an email with a lot of information between friends.
Also I have nothing to do with hiring anyone, jobs included in this
email are informational only.
Thank you for your continued support of OpenVMS and if you are a VMS
engineer thank you for making the best OS there is.
Warm Regards,
Sue

4.0 From Alpha Engineering
One Month Left - until April 27th - to Order New Alpha Systems
HP will accept orders for new Alpha Systems only until April 27, 2007.
Please check with customers to make sure they have sufficient capacity
with their OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX Alpha Systems to carry them
through
migration to new HP platforms. Customers can order upgrades, add-
ons
and options for a year after the end of system sales, until April 25,
2008.
HP will continue to offer factory-refurbished systems and options
through the HP Renew Program in EMEA, AP, and Japan; and
Technology
Value Solutions (TVS) in the Americas based on availability of systems
returned as a trade-in or at the end of a lease.
HP will offer service (maintenance, repair, and advisory) for all
currently selling Alpha Systems for a minimum of five years after last
system shipment, or until 2012. Typically, HP offers services much
longer than the five year minimum commitment. HP still offers service
on all Alpha Systems shipped since the original introduction in 1993.
No End of Service date has been scheduled for any Alpha System.
For more information, see the customer letter and Alpha Roadmap on
the
Alpha Systems pages on HP's public website.
