Nope, not my systems. UKADGE = United Kingdom Air Defence Ground
Environment. It is Britain's air defense system, built by Hughes
Aircraft and originally implemented with VAX 11/780 systems and RK07
disks. Since it was the first system built by Hughes that used
virtual memory, this led to our motto: "UKADGErs do it virtually
in the isles".

I was responsible for maintaining VMS and networking on our
dozen or so development systems. Having common system packs
with all differences keyed off the System ID saved me *lots*
of work/grief.
