HNY Fellow Listers,
Thanks for all of the otherwise unwritten info that has come via the
list. Lots of names to thank come to mind like Fred Thomas, Randall,
TeriAnn, Ken Gano, Massey, Etc.. You've all helped me along the way in
recent months Thanks.
Did anyone notice how many Christmas greetings were religious? As a
Christian, I was moved. I thought most TR pilots were hedonistic pagans or
certainly at least heathens. Perhaps regularly driving 40 year old British
cars leads one to need to pray more often...
I am the Control Systems Analyst for a 12 computer cluster of VAX/VMS
systems that run an automation system for a machine that makes $120/minute
of product, 365 days a year (a good business). I worked on Y2K eve. The
system stayed up, but some of our ancillary software locked up, specifically
historical trending and report generating. Several nodes were turned back to
1971 because they refused to become Y2K compliant.
I read the cover of "LIFE" magazine and it said "1999 A Year Of
Triumphs and Tragedies". I read through it. It was false advertising. Not
one TR in the whole magazine. The things they try to pull these days.
I am proceeding into the next millenium "In Triumph". I wish everyone
well.
