No, but perhaps you did.. that post was meant in humor, I just *HATE* smilies.

I know... I know... The software company I work at now is one of the top producers of LAT protocol
drivers for PC... you'd be amazed how many VAXen I work with every day. And before that, I worked as
a Field Service tech for Emulex, servicing their now-discontinued HDs and DAO1 HSC controller cards,
mostly for Southwestern Bell Publications (the Yellow Pages folks). They had nifty stuff - like a 30
node VAXCluster with two 9000's and 3 6650's, not to mention a butload of 8000's and around 24
HSC-70s.

I do know VAX - I just sometimes forget that not all of the people running NetBSD are
hobbyists/retrocomp.
