Since we are reminiscing about DEC and KO.... I started at DEC in 1978 working on the DECSYSTEM20. My first manager was one of the first 100 DEC employees and even though I was initially working as a contractor for DEC (on an air force base) in Rome NY we made a trip to Maynard where he introduced me to the mill and to Ken Olsen. It was a fascinating time as I worked at the place which essentially funded the ARPANET and TCP/IP. I went to work in DEC engineering in Marlboro in 1981. Eventually I ended up at Stratus where among other things I now manage the Linux group (I never worked on VMS although I did do some stuff with the Ultrix group). It still amazes me (and many others) that DEC went away. I often tell my engineers that when I see some computer or software technology that DEC did not have I will let them know (there is some but not much that DEC did not have first and for which very little credit is given).

Vaxes were clustered years ago. You could reboot each member of a cluster without impacting applications running on the cluster if you were careful. And swap out hardware, etc. Very cool stuff. I started on DEC-20 at WPI years ago, and missed the VMS side of things when WPI got the Encore Multimax instead of a VMS cluster. John
I still have such a fondness for VMS, that I still own a VAXstation 3100 and occasionally pony up for the DECUS license for OpenVMS .... :) On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 10:24 PM, John Stoffel <john@stoffel.org> wrote:
