- We heard about it long before it expired, and we even sent in the form,
- requesting licenses for all of our 55 VaxStations. Unfortunately, DEC
- seems to have lost our request so we never got the PAKS :-(. We are now
- on our third DEC-critter since that offer was made, but I won't let him
- be deaf when we are finally ready to upgrade to DW-Motif.
-
- Actually, it is all rather moot, since we got our VS3100's with RZ23
- disks, which are not supported as system disks for VMS 5.5 with
- DW-Motif, so we may never upgrade our workstations :-(. We may trade
- them all in for NCD X-terminals instead. :-).
