Folks,
On Friday the time will come to close up my system and retire. I started this
journey in 1979, hired by Digital's Upgrade Training Program in CXO to learn electronics and started working on the RM02/03 manufacturing line. From there
I went to NYC Field Service and in 1989 I met John Hockett at a CSC Road Show interview. In May I was working on the VMS Internals and Performance team in CX03, hugely lucky in getting Mark Morris as a cube mate. John & Mark were primarily responsible for my progression in VMS Support. In 1992 I started WFH and have been at home in Waverly, NY since 1994. I have worked with a number of highly talented people in the VMS ecosystem and am very grateful for
all the collaborations I received over the years.
My plans are to travel for family events, play more golf, do more racing travel but most of all, play more poker.
I wish VSI all the best for the future of VMS.
Have a safe & happy holiday.
It does seem like all the well-known names are gradually disappearing however.

A lot of well known names from c.o.v/I-V are no longer seen.
Mark Berryman, Hunter Goatley, Brian Schenkenberg, David Jones and
Robert Gezelter still drop by occasionally.
David Cathey and Nick de Smith are seen elsewhere.
Glenn Everhart, Terry Kennedy, Patrick Moreau, Bruce Tanner,
Ehud Gavron, Jamie Hanrahan, Jerry Leichter, Foteos Macrides,
Matthew Madison, Joe Meadows, Wolfgang Moeller, Pat Rankin,
Wayne Sewell, Don Stokes etc. I have not seen anything from
for many years. Probably many of them have retired.

Terry Kennedy is now Terri Kennedy and can be seen quite often on the VCF DEC Forum and on Oscar Vermeulen's PiDP-11 and PiDP-10 Google groups. I had contact with Glenn Everhart back in May 2021 when I got a copy of his DECUS files but I have notspoken with him since.

Based on their post on the VCF forum it appears the end of the >hobbyist/community license program may have impacted their ongoing use

PS: We know the VMS ecosystem will be well and truly dead when someone
like Arne comes along and says he's not updating his website any more
because there's no point. :-)

Arne will be the last Yorkshireman standing. :-)

Arne is not from God's Own County. He is from a rather boring country
called Denmark. :-)

Well, they made it at least as far as what is now Minnesota on North
America. That's 1400 miles overland.

The vikings traveled far:

The scientific consensus is that the Kensington Runestone is a
forgery and that the vikings did not get to Minnesota.

But it is a good story. And I suppose people in Minnesota
like the story. And besides "When the legend becomes fact,
print the legend". :-)
