I've just noticed the ever helpful John has a pointy hat!

John Gillings works at the CSC in OZ and somehow finds the time to help out here to!

Hi,

actually you can see the laurel already
shining through the wizards hat ;-)

John is not only contributing here but helping the VMS community in numerous ways (e.g. he created the original patch site before ITRC).

Thanks for all your help and please stick around.

Greetings, Martin

Thanks guys, I can use this to help convince my management that spending time in ITRC is worthwhile... (these days metrics are *everything*! ;-)

John,
justifications for you being here
1. you see a wider range of problems and answers - there is always something new - therefore you are even better at your job.
2. positive image for hp
3. Its fun! (this one probably does not count for management).
