OpenVMS"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" (Mark Twain) This page is dedicated to OpenVMS - widely considered one of, if not THE BEST Operating System ever developed. Some call it "legacy". They don't realize that "legacy" means "stuff that just works". Without compromizes. I worked with it for over 15 years, and have experienced it to be stable, reliable, and secure. Cool and unhackable (not my words.

I look it this way: If you require high availabity, or superious security, it should be built-in into the Operating System, not added upon it as a layered product.

Until I have found a proper solution to prevent this, it will be kept down. RINGSThis page is part of the following webrings:
