Fun with OpenVMS -- 9:32 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Our very own J.t.Qbe has begun a journey, a journey he wishes to share with the world. Recently, he got his hands on a VAX machine in an effort to run OpenVMS. You say you don't know what OpenVMS is? You wouldn't know a VAX if someone dropped one on you? Well then read The VAX Files: Fun with OpenVMS. In this first installment, he explains what in the world VMS is and what possessed him to want to run it. It's a very interesting read. I highly recommend that you check it out. Stay tuned for part two next Wednesday and part three the Wednesday after that.

The Master comments: Okay, couple pieces of trivia: #1, I met my wife over the VAX phone utility. #2: The man who designed Windows NT, Dave Cutler, also had a large role in VMS and the earlier PDP-11 OS at Digital. I hope this frightens everyone :-)

J.t.Qbe comments: Congrats, TM! That's the first VMS-induced marriage I've heard about! Conspiracy theorists like to point to the correlation between VMS and Windows NT--add one to each of the letters in VMS and you get WNT. . . spooky, isn't it?
