I have enjoyed VMS X86 - I spent £650+ on hardware to run it, and apart 
from certain missing elements it has been fun - I was looking forward to 
getting Basic  (and LSE) and hopefully providing good/positive feedback

To go back to a VAX, or even the alpha with only a few compiler licenses 
on hardware that is very old and slow, Not even sure if I will be bothered
