    By the way, does anyone know what the Atari arcade game people have
    against DEC?  I am refering to the game _Major Havoc_, where one fights
    against the Evil Vaxxxian Empire, from the planet of Maynard.

Ha!  I can tell you that, as a former high-strung prima donna myself.
Most of the coin-op development (the only part of Atari still owned by
Warner Communications, last I heard) is done on Vaxen under VMS, using
old cross-assemblers written in 11 code, which run in 11 emulation
mode, and run very slowly.  Doing real work on the Vaxen takes a certain
stamina, not to mention tolerance for teeth-gnashing.
