Then it would also be equally obvious that there is more than enough money
in the VMS coffers to pay for the porting of RTR to Linux or a WSIT 3.0 but
not enough to release something that has been in EAK for years and the rest
of the industry has had for decades?

Or is it the (something that sounds like) dynamic key discovery stuff?

But I personally know of several completely useless twats that continue to
suckle their exorbitant salaries at the VMS license-payer teat, so it is
inconveivable that Ann would have similtaneously retrenched tens of talented
and productive engineers?

Quite revealing to see who's managed to dawdle in the trenches after she's
blown the whistle!

I don't care who tells me. His e-mail hasn't bounced yet if that's any
indication.

Anyway, what "policies"? Can't stop someone looking for work and asking
questions.

Maybe we can get photos of missing VMS engineers stuck on Milk Cartons?

savings to be made and plenty of dead-wood but they're cutting in the wrong
places!
