RE: Full circle. After all these years Oracle will end up owning VMS.

Ahhh, the goold old VMS. Last I worked with it was 2008 in its latest incarnation away from the Alpha Chips and into the Itanium Processor ( it was then called OpenVMS ). This operating system gave me at least 5 years of bread and butter and put food on my family’s table ( ubtil I capitulated and went to develop for the evil Empire — Microsoft Windows ).

A great, reliable, robust, virtually unhackable operating system. Does it still have life in it? Or will it soon be relegated into the Computer Hall of Fame?

BTW, HP owns a whole host of other computer systems, including the TANDEM NON-STOP COMPUTER ( does anyone still remember this machine ?).
