Fun with VLC

[John Klos <john%ziaspace.com@localhost>]

Hi, all,

I just wanted to share my experiences with a donated VLC. I put netbsd-5 
built from 21-August-2011 on a 64 gig SSD on the SCSI bus and have been 
running it ever since. It's stable, happy, slow as all heck, but such a
visceral example of tangible VAX hardware. I know a rack full of cards on 
a real backplane is closer to a real VAX, but this hardware is much more 
touchable than even my 4000/60 or 4000/90 systems (perhaps because of how 
much of the CPU / motherboard is obscured by the CD carrier, the video 
card and the memory).

It took four days to CVS the source tree. Damn! But all in all it's a fun 
little machine.
