Congratulations Jon.  Other than my old Tserver being 18 MIPS (on a z9-A01
these days), your job sounds just about exactly what I do now for a couple
of clients.  So, does the job come with all the Green Mountain Coffee I can
drink and of course, season passes to Stowe or Sugarbush?

Cross posted to VSE-L & Flex-ES lists (our current platform is a 30 MIP
Tserver.)
 
I will be retiring on 26 Feb, 2010 after more than 32 years working with
DOS/VS/VSE/SP/AF/zVSE.  In the meantime I will be training someone to take
my place.  

Many thanks to all on these two lists!  You've made many of my days much
brighter and more interesting than they otherwise would have been.  Long may
you run.
