[Info-vax] Current Hobbyist procedures

[D W]

I haven't had time/energy to play with my hobbyist box for a few years 
(where did all these kids come from?) and since the only place I had for 
the system to live would have been in the garage with all the lack of 
climate control that implies, I just let it sit. But now I've moved to a 
house with a perfect place, and I'm going.

So, what's the current set of hoops to jump through to renew the 
licenses, and is there any media newer than 8.3 available to hobbyists?
