Hi,

So what happened at the HPTF? I didn't see anyone twittering about VMS.

I'd say that the VMS customer turnout at HPTF was pretty light, based on
the
number of people (out of 3800) who showed up at VMS-related sessions; I
think
the best-attended had about 30 people, half of them HP employees.

The RoadMap presentation/session, which was sheduled for an hour, must
have
left 55mins for drinkipoos and a quick punt on Lucky 7? Ann MacQuaid now
on
light-duties?

An hour of lively discussion, and another hour of lively discussion at the
Connect VMS Sig meeting.



Who was older - The Beach-Boys or those leaving VMS Enguneering :-)

The Beach Boys had various ringers, including a 46-year-old John Stamos
(who
turns out to be a pretty decent drummer, guitarist, and singer.

I think he was well under the average age of attendees.

Thanks again for the spin-free feedback and for omitting the mutual
admiration society pleasantries.

Any other *customers* or bait-ballers willing to share their experiences?
