[JF Mezei]

It is already 2010 in the eastern most areas of the round planet :-)

Happy New Year !
Happy New Decade !

I wish everyone a happy new year and decade filled with health,
pleasure, good food and success !


The last decade wasn't exactly glorious for VMS as it started with
Alphacide and ended with dismemberment of VMS engineering, and there was
the La Carly entertainment in between. But there was also a big cleanup
of VMS code with a port to that IA64 thing, as well as the 8.3 version
which is probably to the 2000s what 5.5-2 was to the 1990s.

There will me many challenges coming in the next decade and perhaps some
major changes such as disapearance of the POTS (plain old telephone
system) system and perhaps even conventional television. "The network is
the system" will be more true than ever, so will the "global village".

And it looks like nudity will become standard in airports as we'll have
to go through security naked :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
