Where is everyone ?

Are you all on holiday ?

Have you run out of new things to say about VMS ?

Have you all given up waiting and moved to Linux ?

Are you all too depressed about the implications of the time-limited
production licences to bother posting these days ? :-)

Just curious.

Simon.

There were more new things to say about VMS in the 80s. :-)

I have promissed myself to not touch Linux before I retire.
And probably not after that. I have worked professionaly
with three OS'es RSX-11M, VMS and MVS. That's enough...

*That*, I could just not care less about. We'll have a meeting
between me, my customer (the VMS site) and a customer contact
at VSI/Sweden in a few days. This might come up there, but it
is not in anyway a major or primary question.

The few postings are due to, I'm guessing, that c.o.v never
bothers about real everyday issues faced by VMS sites anyway.
Like lack of resources and other issues that are not OS related.

> Just curious.

Sure, I also thought that I had lost the news feed... :-)
