How would you like me to use this forum?

[Martin P.J. Zinser]

Hello Stan,

good idea. I'd like to propose one refinement. Make one thread per month posting (and discussing ;-) public Pearls. If you try to lump them indefinitly together the thread would become humongous pretty soon.

Greetings, Martin

Hi Sue,

It would be very nice if you participate in this forum.

Warm regards,
Lokesh Jain

Well then Kjell,
I'm glad I got your post first :-)

Susan Skonetski, known to most as "Sue", is kind of the "Mother Goose" for all VMS ambassadors.
She is about 250% of what one person can be in promoting VMS, both inside and outside HP, despite the well-known VMS-advertising attidude within HP. Hardly any terrier around worldwide that could hang to any subject as much as Sue hangs into VMS promotion.
Besides that, she is a wonderfull woman to talk to, even more so if time for visiting a bar can be found.

(and no Sue, I am NOT flattering or exagarating, although you probably will say so. Everyone else is there to testify).

Stan,

once Sue sends out a Pearl, it may or may not ever be found again...

Depending what you expect. ken Farmer (www.openvms.org) keeps them as well. But combined with "our" comments, storinge them here too would be a good idea (and deeplink to management forums where applicable)

Ken Farmer does a great job. But searching for OpenVMS information starting at "www.hp.com" won't get you to them -- putting them here gets them into HP's search engine (I hope!).

[Willem Grooters]

Stanley,

Ken keeps them together, at least, his sites features a SEARCH to get all he has stored.
although - I just checked and it will only show the ones until 2004. (none of this year). I don't know why (I'll ask on his site)

Willem

[Stanley F Quayle]

The issue is that, starting at > HP.COM <, you won't find them. HP customers and prospects will naturally start at HP.COM.

is the hp search engine another topic for discussion at the bootcamp :-)
Its more of a hp wide thing - bring back altavista!
