No doubt, but just like in VMS engineering those people are rapidly
disappearing only to be replaced by typical Windows weenies.  Go out
and find some of those people you work with there that have VMS
experience.  How old are they?  How soon are they planning on retiring?
What do you think the liklihood of their being replaced by someone with
equivalent VMS experience is?
