30th years anniversary of VAX/VMS on a VAX 11/780

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

I'm still using my 20th anniversary T shirt but I starting to look like a clochard with it. Hope HP sends us some new ones.

And look what shares the birthday :

Hope that the greatest OS will have many more anniversaries.

I began dealing with OpenVMS in 1986 and intensivly working 1987 and I truly believe
OpenVMS deserve we should be working to make it a common OS for workstation, PC and Laptop

We should enforce a commitment to encourage HP to make this a reality.

It should be a special version capable to run in dual boot system like Linux and Windows, possibly using and Motif and the alternate of a Open Source GUI

At the beginning there may NOT be too much application software for common end users, but after running for a while people would get amaze of the conversion coming in.

Who raise the hand?
