I know, that "midnight"D has crossed the meridian for many of you as I write this. Greetings, belated though they may be.   B I remain disappointed at the state and the future of the operatingF system that has brought us all together. We've all made our individualH efforts to make it better. Please continue to support OpenVMS, and those# who work to sustain and improve it.   B A lurker on this group wrote to me privately and made a few pointsD related to the millennium argument. It appears that there truly is aG number of "wrongs" that make a right, or at least an order of magnitude H which does. As he said, "convention" dictated that 1-Jan-2000 marked theG beginning of the new millennium, even though only 1999 years had passed E since the date declared as the start of time A.D. (a.k.a. "the Common E Era"). (The question of centuries never arose as a discussion topic.)   F This same "convention", apparently, dictates that OpenVMS has, for allA practical intents and purposes, been relegated to the scrap pile.   F So, we'll all be less productive from this point forward and will loseF much sleep thanx to viruses, blue screens and what-have-you. Though weC be separated, we'll always be joined by our common experiences with  OpenVMS.  H It's been a pleasure to be associated with all of you. While I recognizeF that many of you do not share that sentiment, I still value all of youH and your collective intelligence and experience. I've learned a lot, andE hope that I've given back some small measure of the value I've gained  from being here.  = May the New Year bring you much joy, success and contentment.   E May the New Millennium lead our progeny and theirs to a bright future   filled with hope and prosperity.   --   David J.
