Yes.  Actually I have two independent switched network segments.  One 
reserved for my workshop.

No company use of VMS here, just Hobbyist.

So the only reason for me to learn Decnet V is to improve my chances for 
a future job in the mid-west to south-east section of the U.S.

And I do not for see any such openings at my salary level adjusted for 
the local cost of living.
