Cloud computing? Oh, you mean running workloads on my VAX from my PDP-11 workstation via DECnet clustering.

with 28 days left to write 23 #othernetworks entries, I have to say...entries on DECnet and NSFnet are not half as interesting as Radio Hirmondo or the Théatrophone or any of the weird types of telephonic facsimile can I just say "DECnet was a protocol that connected PDP computers. It was popular."

Age verification? DECnet-to-BITNET gateway to dual-homed BITNET/Internet shell
Age verification? I have sweaters old enough to run for president.
Age verification? My first online experience was on local BBSes with a dial-up modem.

I made a huge discovery tonight... a huge set of software (including the floppy disks to go with the documentation I have) for the DEC Pro/350! It includes the OS, developer tools, Synergy, Adventure, DECNet support (which I really want to use for data recovery), and more! I'm so excited!!

one exception was DECnet. We had a bunch of VAXes & our DEC engineers were huge fans of DECnet and always trumpeted that it was one of the only working examples of an OSI protocol suite that was operational. Of course, TCP/IP won that battle, but that's how I remember DECnet: OSI that worked.

There are more than a few game devs in the Denver and Springs area, and yes, agreed a decnet number of cons up in Denver.

Kinda sad news about Borderlands 4: no Jesper Kyd. If I had to guess, he was busy with the cancelled Wonder Woman game. Composers are: Chris Velasco, who worked on 1 & 2, Finishing Move, who worked on 3, and Josh Carro, the sole composer of Wonderlands. Should be in decnet hands at least. #blutoid

oh, nice find, the Mac Pathworks client install has a bunch of tools; I need to get DECnet going on my LAN
the terminal says it does VT320 mode, but I'm not sure of a quick way to test sixels
