I was a student at HillcrestHighSchool for about 5 years and completed 7th form in 2005. I will be attending WaikatoUniversity in 2006 doing ComputerScience (BCMS) using the scholarship I aquired late 2005.
-I generaly tend to aquire computers that people are throwing out and use them for parts or on my network for doing various things. I prefer computers and hardware produced by Digital Equipment Corporation but generaly, if its
free and in reasonably good condition (or has useful parts) i will take it.

-There are a number of things which I am looking to aquire so that I can learn as much as I can about them. Most of the stuff I am after were higher-end systems from the 80s/early 90s and software/documentation for such systems. Highest on my list is a VAX followed by a DECstation MIPS, an Alpha, followed by anything made by Digital Equipment Corporation, SUN, SGI, etc. So, if you have a VAX (or anything else (software, documentation, etc) by Digital
, SUN, SGI, etc) you dont want, you know who to go to :).

-Current operating systems I am looking to try out and learn about (in priority) are VMS VAX (older versions), Ultrix, Digital UNIX (Tru64), OpenVMS AXP and NetBSD. I dont
have the hardware to run the first 4 (need a vax
, DECstation MIPS and an Alpha) and I am currently trying to get parts to repair an old SPARCstation IPC (battery dead and is built-in to the NVRAM chip) to run NetBSD.
