We're moving to IBM+AIX on p5-Series. On a more personal note, I'll be focusing on non-EDP related pursuits with the dawn of the new year. I need to find creative ways fund our retirement and arrange for my wife to open her bead shop. When I do surf the EDP-related newsgroups, it will likely be on comp.unix.aix. I expect to continue my current hosting arrangements which support djesys.com as well as my personal pages on Earthlink. So, those will continue to go further stale but will remain available for at least the years thru 31-Dec-2010. I want to thank the many who have helped me with all my technical issues over the years, express my continued support to those who have benefitted from my experience, and also apologize for having "gotten into it" those many times when ego and emotion won out over common sense. A bit early perhaps, wishing all a Wonderful Holiday Season as well as a prosperous and health-filled New Year. -- David J Dachtera dba DJE Systems http://www.djesys.com/ Unofficial OpenVMS Hobbyist Support Page: http://www.djesys.com/vms/support/ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:10:06 -0600 From: David J Dachtera Subject: Re: OpenVMS Blades Webcast Message-ID: <4740FE8E.A82B802F@spam.comcast.net> Sue wrote: > [snip] > The HP group sponsering this is not familiar with the VMS community so > they are a little suprised with the amount of people that are > registered.

VMS will be largely history for me by then. So, I probably won't be there. -- David J Dachtera dba DJE Systems http://www.djesys.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2007 14:25:56 -0800 (PST) From: Keith Cayemberg Subject: Re: X11 in a browser?
