Ok, I could be accused of that.  So what?

What I DO know is what I can do with VMS.  The environment was never the 
problem.  HP has been the problem, not investing in the OS and keeping it up to 
date.  That just may be fixed now (or soon).  We will see.

I will ask, should I venture into unknown territory, and perhaps cost customers 
lots of money, and possibly their business, or, should I use what I know I can 
make work and get the job done?
