I like that quote that says something like, "VMS is a text adventure. When
you win, you get to use UNIX." I used to have the url for a page that had
all kinds of nasty quotes from both sides of the fence; man, I wish I
could find it again...anybody have something like that bookmarked?

I have a couple of hobby VMS machines for fun too, my favorite is the
VAXStation 3100 m38. Nifty mouse. But I tend to get a little edgy when I
don't have a $ prompt for more than a few minutes, even with four-feet
of shelf occupied with VMS manuals behind me. To each his own, I guess...
