Now, the Seattle based Living Computer Museum is closing and auctioning off their collection, which includes a VAX 7000 (Rosencrantz/Rosie) that was recently running VMS and available remotely, last I logged in.  Assets will apparently be auctioned by Christie's.  I wanted to bring this to the attention of the group, many of whom also seem to be in the DEC Facebook groups where I originally learned of this.

  To clarify, they closed four years ago.

  We have an operational VAX-7000 at LSSM, which can be made available 
for NetBSD porting work or anything else that anyone may need in this 
context.  It currently runs VMS.
