- The problem that at least some of us have is that we don't have time to
- read all of sources of information. I have eliminate DR from my list due to
- the amount of material that I had to read to get new and useful information.

- P.S. - I have a Matco mug for pointing out to DR that VMS does *NOT* run on
- any of the PDP-11 series.
