...with my joining the group? I'm not sure. I spent nearly 13 years of my working life with Digital Equipment Corp. (NL subsidiary), in the field, as support engineer and presales consultant. I left in 1997, when the Compaq takeover was announced but not yet in effect.
Since then, I've been working with the independent VX Company in the Netherlands. Yes, VX is short for VAX. When the company was founded in 1988, the VAX 8000 was the DEC flagship. VX Company spent the first 15 years of its existence as "VX8000", as a Digital partner sotware house.
We still maintain VMS applications, and are sent all over the world by HP to do Rdb and ACMS training. However, the VMS activities are going to end some day, so I will prepare myself for hobbyist status, this forum being a first step.

MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
