Hmmm, is that a good reference?

VAX definately had its strong points. I only worked with it shortly, side by
side with UNIX and at that time VAX was much nicer to use despite the grayscale
displays. Not sure if it was about the OS or the actual tools and features it
had.

I'm a newbie compared to most of you guys but I wasn't born until '71. The first
computer I used was a TI-99/4A followed by Vic-20 and C-64. Currently running
2.66GHz P4's both home and at work. Visual C++ 6.0 is the tool mostly used by 
me.
