Yeah 'cause no one on their right mind wants to learn VMS... right? *Looks at
his Kindle open on a page of the OpenVMS System Managers Guide...* right?

The only reason Solaris at home will become rare is licensing. Believe it or
not a good few hobbyists prefer to be above board when it comes to at least
having a base OS license. The hardware is easy to find, eBay is heaving with
Sun SPARC stuff and the prices are dropping like lead bricks out of a 50th
story window.
