Also, don't forget about the <^> MicroVAX-3000 series. <^> This conversation is quickly leading nowhere. I'm sorry I replied to the person who supports VMS earlier. If it doesn't apply to the ST, this is the wrong place for the discussion. Lets talk about how to improve the ST not fight on which other operating system is best. -- Johnnie --
