Although I didn't manage to chat to you while I was there, yours was by far my favourite stand at VCF UK. It was great to come across some VAXen in a sea of home computers (which don't really interest me a great deal, to be honest). I was rather amused to see two guys wondering why Unix commands weren't working on an OpenVMS system :) I've been subscribed to this list for years and seeing your machines has finally given me the kick I need to dig out a VAX, reinstall OpenVMS and get connected to HECNET. (Resending this as I don't think my original reply got through due to using an address not subscribed to the list). -mj -- Michael-John Turner mj at mjturner.net <> http://mjturner.net/
