Bill ... Did you work for DEC ? I started working at DEC in 82 at the
Mill ( Maynard MA ). Worked from 82 - 96 ( got hit by the next to last
wave of layoffs - before the were bought by Compaq ). Began as
a mech designer - left as a Sr Info Sys Spec ( supporting VAX/VMS and
then OpenVMS, Ultrix/UNIX ). Had a heart attack in 95 in the middle
of an ALL-IN-1 trouble call - how rude. Got canned a year later with
the rest of the burnouts and broken down misfits.

At one time in the VAX heyday I could walk down a hall and see a
expert in computer science. This In a large company from Delaware.
My boss told me to take care of making sure folks about the world had
access to RS1. Seems RS1 needed a $. So I was able to grant access to
many folks and I pointed out that LYNX was available at the $. Lynx =
pre graphical interface to the internet. Mexican engineers flipped out
in a joyous manner. Those DEC folks with physicists about did a great
job in removing their need to be around. SAD.
I ran two international newsletters until my bossıs bossıs etc
bragged then a VP of the company said ³What² shut me down as I was just
the lowest level employee. I know what ALL-IN-one is donıt miss it
).
Peter Mroz or Roy Beatty ring a pleasant bell?
Hope the heart is treating you well I know what CABG is.
