Hello, my name is Vesselin Kenashkov and I am from Sofia, Bulgaria. I am a newbie to OpenVMS and alpha hardware. I am working as a web developer, but I am interested in computer hardware, and OS-es. So my first non-x86 architecture is a DEC PWS600a (which I converted into 600au) with the appropriate OS for it
Here in Bulgaria there are no many (not to say - any) OpenVMS users but this is due to the lack of the needed hardware (Alpha-s and VAX-es) and the software - no one can provide you with the OS itself. Since I have some software I can provide it (in the terms of the hobbyist license) to bulgarian hobbyist who needs it. And I hope to find (or "to create" - why not? - I'm planning a bulgarian hobbyist web site for Alpha/OpenVMS) other OpenVMS users/hobbyists from Bulgaria.

Welcome Vesselin!
Having seen some of your previous posts and thus knowing what you have achieved so far, I think you are being modest describing yourelf as a "newbie"!!!!
Fortunately, there are some VERY knowledgeable people out there, all over the world, who will gladly help and advise. I have had some excellent advice from very distant places. Thus in some ways, you are not as "isolated" as you thought in one of your posts.
So Good Luck, keep up the good work and ask if you need any advice.
Hello, I was surfing by web and found your site.
I have seen several sites like you and can say that your site is much better
I feel good when see that net is growing with sites like you.
Thanks!
I also made little steps to make NET better Take a look my webcam cam teen web zip[url="http://webcam.jj2jj.info/live-sex-web-cam.html]live sex web cam[/url] teen web cam pic
