   Well, ever since aioe.org went south, I've been forced to use Unison on   
   my Mac for news. The damn Unison thing pukes up a hairball nearly every   
   time I touch the keyboard which is why I've been so absent here. I so   
   miss using newsrdr on VMS.   
      
   Anyway, after much anquish, I do dinally have VMS running on an HP   
   17-cn0021nr (???) laptop with Intel Quad-Core i5-10210U (???), 32GB   
   memory, 1TB storage and, the best of all, NO WEENDOZE!!! It arrived   
   with Linux Mint installed. I'm not a fan of the Mint UI but since this   
   will basically be a VMS "server" I don't care.   
      
   I finally got VMS to boot with the Virtualbox emulator late evening   
   yesterday. After little more finagling earlier this morning and I was   
   able to ssh into it from my Mac! I'd perfer to be able to use the Mac   
   as its iTerm does a fairly faithful emulation of a VT terminal and I   
   can use the extended keyboard too to give me a functional alternate   
   keypad. Now, all I need to do is get this thing working in a cluster   
   environment so that I can share my source code drives and get RMS-CDC   
   ported and maybe a few more things too!!!
