I wish to say just one thing: "THANKS YOU AND YOUR
TEAM" for
holding the spirit of those people who lived Digital, VMS, and
so many
things in such a different way from other around this industry. I don't
mean better, but different. I would like to see the same style in
other companies, other platforms, other technologies, ....
And
Many thanks for another packed issue! I'm eager to dive into
this Vol-3. Keep up the great work!

Sport Model Tyrannosaurus rex - The microprocessor in the Digital
Equipment Corporation Rigel chipset contained a Tyrannosaurus rex
driving a convertible sports car, which was intended as a pun on the
then-current competitive marketing campaign to brand VAX and other
CISC
(complex instruction-set computer) chips as dinosaurs.

really cool micro art of chemicals, and if you feel like feeling
