Congratulations Rich!

Here is another grade school aged OpenVMS System.

$ show sys/noproc
OpenVMS V7.2-1  on node ZZZZ  23-MAY-2011 21:15:36.98  Uptime  1848
09:19:49

$ whenis -1848

1848 Days in the PAST is Monday - May 1st, 2006

This is the standalone system time, not the cluster time. The system
is in a tire factory running 5 important CIM/CAM applications 24/7
including several Oracle Rdb and Sybase Databases.

Cheers!
