I have KeepPass on the BB, but it caused the BlackBerry desktop to
crash. Essentially, I will be using that for password stuff and other
sensitive information, but initially the task is to preserve my Memo Pad
and be able to use it. And Evernote does have a BlackBerry, Android,
Windows, and Web

I've finally done a successful pvcreate.
First I booted into Knoppix 6.2.1, started raid1, pvcreate failed,
stopped mdadm and did a pvcreate on /dev/sdc2.
Booted back into Fedora, and I have successfully done a vgextend to
/dev/md1, and am now moving the extents over. Once I have everything

Ben,
That seems more like it was due to a total lack of interest. Could
it simply be that most everyone has moved to Internet Protocol now?
I agree to a point that the current orphaning of the code in the kernel
is probably due to a total lack of interest, and that there is a good
possibility
Ben,
One other comment:
I think widespread adoption of IP has tended to eliminate less-used
network transports. Why go with something weird, proprietary, and
expensive when you could go with what everybody is using, for free?
I agree. But I also remember that in 1984 DEC was still waiting for

Again, I don't have a good answer, but that doesn't mean the problem
goes away. Linux still sucks.
Just to be clear, in this particular case any freely distributable piece
of code that relies on royalty bearing codecs sucks.
That includes BSD, Hurd, Minux, Android, MeeGO, etc.

I've already heard of people running an emulator on
top of an emulator inside of a VM solely to keep some old application
alive.
One or two years ago I was at a small technical college someplace and
the professors (knowing I had worked for DEC) offered to show me an
ancient PDP-11 running RSX-11
Oh, does THAT bring back the golden oldie memories! My first-ever paid IT
gig was working with, yes, a PDP-11 running RSX-11 (for CAD/CAM engineering
apps) and a microVAX running, I think, VAX/VMS 3.5.
Then, off to DEC itself, in Marlborough and The Mill.
No Linux for me until twelve years
