here's my horizon report!

End of an era



Jack Ziegler turned off the last VAX and Alpha in our VMS cluster. It took Information Technology years to decommission VMS. Every time we got close, some department still had use for it.

The VAX played an important part in my life. It's how I met my husband, and most of my other friends (like Julie, Christine, Jim and Andru). Yes, that's pretty geeky, I admit. My friend Julie turned me on to Cafe Vax, a bulletin board of sorts using VAX Notes. It was run by Tim, who also authored the widely acclaimed "VAX for Virgins" and hosted many Cafe Vax f2f gatherings. And that's where I met Courtney.

The first thing I remember hearing about Courtney was from Julie: "You should meet Courtney - he wore my lipstick!"

Apple

New Apple ads are out...

...my favs are Network and WSJ. And I love how Restart ends - it appeals to my inner helpdesk staff.
