I'd guess that there are far fewer people that directly use
and work on VMS now than 15 years ago. In the old days, you'd
have lots of regular workers logging onto VMS systems to
directly do their work. Now VMS systems are mostly server
systems.

I haven't logged into a VMS system for a few months. I'd guess
that most VMS oldtimers haven't logged into a system in years
if not a decade.

VMS is better than ever and now runs on an Intel based platform as scalable and robust as Alpha ever was but without the nagging concerns about sustainability and longevity.

Paul outside of youself and Intel some would say that there are concerns with IPFs sustainability and longevity. Only time will tell.

Sorry. You're right. I should have said VMS was great <when I had the opportunity to use it (long ago)>. I know all the advantages. :)
