VMS had some really nice features - mostly forgotten now that it's all 'nix, all the time.

You know, I should apply for that Lockheed job just to get shutdown for being in my 50s and not having touched a VAX since my 30s (because, you know, it's changed so much since then rofl)


I was a data wrangler for a large retail company that put a microVAX in each store for pricing and stock tracking, about the same time as scan guns were first introduced.

It helped me get that job that my dad had worked at DEC for years and I had an RT-11 system sitting on my bedroom desk for years. Knew VAX ops fairly well then. Also about 30 years ago.
