The Masked Wizard turned pro.

The Masked Wizard (TM) aka Hoff aka Stephen Hoffman of HoffmanLabs LLC,

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/publicProfile.do?userId=CA1354978&forumId=1 ,

known, in his words "since eons" from VMS Engeneering, from DECUSses, from ATW (AskTheWizard), from c.o.v., etc etc etc,

after his move to his own enterprise, has since two weeks started actively participating in ITRC, and already has claimed his first cap.

Steve, at this speed you will soon be recognised in ITRC, also outside of the VMS crowd, as Wizard!

I hope to see you again at the Bootcamp,
until then

Proost.

Have one on me.

Congratulations, I expect your headgear will rapidly change if you continue find the time to participate here.

BTW - the answers on the ATW site where provided by an expert collective of which Stephen was a part.

I suspect this to be the first of many hats yet to come.

Thanks!

Do we get to pick headgear? I want Marvin's space helmet! :-)

But seriously, I do expect to be one many attendees at the Bootcamp and at LUG meetings, and would be honored to visit with the various folks here.

And again, thanks,
Hoff

Holf,

Congratulations!!! from Saltlake City, UT.

I am wondering your speed and broad knowledge in most of the VMS areas. I missed some of your posting in the last month. I like to go through all you postings. You are certainly a biggest addition to this VMS forum. Hope you will find enough time to contribute for this Great OpenVMS forum and reach the top rank in the ITRC forum. After I see Jan's comment, I went your website, good information!!!.

Congrats from Canada!!

Maybe I never looked hard enough, but I always wondered who "The Wizard" was (were, I guess). I love those "terse answers" to "terse questions"!!

As I found out a long time ago, there was "life after DEC/Digital". I'm sure you'll find "life after DEC/Digital/Compaq/HP" quite easily with your new enterprise.

Good luck and Cheers,
Art

Congratulations from Australia. You'd probably be a wizard now if others assigned points the way they should.

Is Hoff the USA version of our John Gillings :)
