Heh, I'm not sure how they got my name, but some marketing drone called 
to ask how he could help me transition my VMS licenses to HPUX or some 
such. He didn't seem to understand that 1) I was a hobbyist with 1 
license 2) it was on a VAX and 3) that nothing they had interested me. 
He finally left me alone when I asked him when they would put the VAX 
back in production so that they could at least say they were selling one 
  "real computer"... :)
