Well, I am still employed to primarily keep the VAX7000-630 running and have 
had a VMS related job since I graduated in 1989. Working with VMS has been a 
primary focus during each of my job searches,  I have PEECEE skills as well 
which makes me useful in many current environments,  The other ex-DEC'es I 
am currently working with are from different parts of the company (disk 
manufacture, internal printer maintenance, etc.).  Maybe I should have said 
MANY and not MOST in my original statement.
