Antonio,

Thanks!

... and I intend to try & keep ahead of you!
Let the 'battle' be fair!

But, look behind you as well!
Volker is _REALLY_ speeding upward!

Proost.

Have one on me (some good wine will suit you best, I believe?)

Jan,
yes Volker is rushing and Robert Gezelter too.
I believe you have to 'fight' very hard to keep yourself on podium!
Today one beer on me!

P.S. I didn't forget give points. I want to wait for your some day :LOL:

Now I understand: Jan's climbed to #3 in the list.

Congratulations!

Isn't that funny?
3 people who's first name has 3 characters are in the first 3 positions ;-)

fine piece of ASCII art Uwe :-)

I also wondered which podium.

Every one of Jan's answers is worth reading. If you compare this place to comp.os.vms the signal to noise ratio is so much higher. See you in Nashua (just under 4 weeks to go now).

vms podium sorrounds North Sea.
Short name, quick response!

I didn't dare to put a colorful .PPT here ;-)

Sorry, won't be in Nashua, it slightly collides with the ENSA in DK and I have already been in London, UK and CXO this year. It's time to do some real work ;-)

Jan,

Da's het beter werk!

Just wondering: Since the most experienced system managers seem to have time left to help the innocent (in fact no wonder with VMS systems ;-), why did some of them (like Jan) added their comments so late....

Shhh. Don't tell anybody, but the spare time can be used for other projects like writing programs to automate tasks to even get more free time ;-) In a previous life I was able to write a utility to assist us in maintaining databases.

occationally work does interfere with answering questions here :-)

I spend my spare time learning about VMS (time spent here included) and occationaly writing software (at home generally) - see
