Completely off topic, but for those of you who have an iPad and like
reading books on it, "Infinite Exposure" will be in the iBookstore in
about a week.  Of course, those of you who prefer hard covers with
dust jackets can still obtain the book from your friends at Island Co.

OpenVMS support does seem to be gasping and twitching like a person
given _almost_ enough cyanide to be fatal, but not quite.  Letting go
of the gray hairs and moving R&D to the $10/day labor market really
was a stupid move.
