Sorry to stray off the technical topics, but I wanted to drop a note
to all of you still following the list to let you know that I will be
retiring from HP this month (next Friday is my last day at work). I
joined Digital Equipment Corporation in November, 1983, and I have
been involved with Tru64 UNIX and Alpha systems since the beginning
(back before the release of DEC OSF/1 V1.3).
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with this product and
the many fine people and companies whose continued use helped make it
a success.
Although I will no longer have direct access to the authoritative
source for the details of how the product works (which is, after all,
the source code) or for that matter any Tru64 UNIX systems, I will be
following the list and continue to answer questions where I know the
answers (and occasionally speculate on likely answers where I have
a clue, as I've always done).
I have not yet decided whether to actively seek employment in the
"high tech" world; I am leaning toward doing something completely
different, but the details are still somewhat up in the air. But
it is time to do other things for a while.
So, so long, and thanks for all the fish.. and what a long, strange
trip it's been..
