And VSI should be telling _everyone_ about it as proof that things
in the x86-64 VMS world are finally happening and that important vendors
(in this case Oracle) are committing to x86-64 VMS, hence helping to
keep the platform viable for everyone, including those who do not use Rdb.

Everyone here is very technically knowledgeable but sometimes many of
you have a really big problem with seeing the larger non-technical
picture.

Go and re-read Ian's posting again. That sums up the non-technical
bigger picture far better than I can.

The technical stuff doesn't matter if lack of exposure means that
people think the future of VMS is not viable because VSI are not
hammering home all the things that are happening in the x86-64 VMS world.

Remind me Jan-Erik, am I the only one complaining about VSI marketing ?

Simon.
