Well Bill, note that the terminology was "VMS on your desktop", which I 
at least inferred as "access to VMS on one's desktop".  As for that, I 
have access to my VMS systems from my desks and such.  Usually a 
WEENDOZE system with much of the office automation software along with a 
terminal emulator.

I really don't want a VT type of terminal, which is good only for 
terminal functionality.  The WEENDOZE desktop environment gives me what 
is usually expected in a "desktop system", and access to my VMS systems.
