Time has moved on Brian and VMS is no longer master of its own destiny.

Both it and you need to be able to work with the expected hardware and
software of today, not the hardware and software of 20 years ago.

You may think you are being clever with the above comments, and such
comments may have been "cute" 10-15 years ago, but today it just projects
a rather unprofessional and out-of-touch image.

Rather than one of the above boxes however, I would follow VSI's advice
on what hardware they recommend to host your VMs running VMS. For example,
take note of the fact you can only use Intel CPUs for now and cannot use
AMD CPUs. (Unless that has changed _very_ recently).
