And now finally the transfer has happened.
In the end we moved 14 machines. (7 Alpha and 7 VAX) as well as some tape drives and terminals.
It is in the hands of Phillip who might use some and pass some to others.
(Maybe not before it gets colder again in Germany).

Happy (VMS) computing!

I wonder how Phillip found space for yet another 14 machines and
I wonder what his other half (IIRC, he is married) thinks about that... :-)

Yes. Two of you (you know who you are) contacted me a few weeks ago
with specific requests. We can discuss the details by email. In the
next 4 weeks I plan not only to test out the new stuff but also to take
inventory of the stuff I already have. Although I will keep some stuff
I don't use for nostalgic reasons, some things I might want to pass on
to a good home, especially VAX-related stuff. Contact me by email if
you're interested in collecting something. I live near Frankfurt am
Main in Germany.

I travel by car from time to time within Europe, so perhaps I can bring
you something.

One of the reasons we moved to a bigger house 12 years ago.

Not meaning top pry, just curious as I have lived over there and
made many a trip to Frankfurt but whereabouts. Still have friends
in the area.

Neither of the two who know who they are are German or in Germany, but
somewhere where I will be travelling soon.

Sorry, confusion. I was looking for something a little more detailed
about where, near Frankfurt you lived. I have a current friend in
Fechenheim and in the past visited the area from Mainz to Darmstadt
(even as far out as Würzburg) quite frequently. Of course, that was
as much as 50 years ago. :-)

Maintal, which is between Frankfurt and Hanau.

Fechenheim is one of the parts of Frankfurt closest to Maintal.

Yes, I remember Maintal. (I even know what it means :-)
Brings back pleasant memories. Haven't been their in person
since 2007 and everyday the chances of ever visiting again
get slimmer. My daughter was born in Germany (but not
anywhere near Frankfurt, Nord Rhein.) and to this
day still (technically) has dual citizenship.
