The previous CEO (Kevin Shaw) was 44 when he was killed by a car while
crossing the street, so it's not news that the next generation of
leadership will be too young to have been ex-DECCies.

Let's hope.  Some of the engineering seems to be getting done.  It
remains to be seen whether they will get back to any of the bigger
engineering projects after the port is done or develop any more of a
clue about the customers and the community than previous purveyors of
VMS have had.
