Hi!
I'M claude from Calgary,
i just re-start using VMS after a 15 years break..
i was using it as a simple user but now i have to manage 3 servers
i use it for work but i decide to set a instalation at Home so I can play with it and learn more in various senarios..
i dont have much people around me knowing about VMs so i have to learn it the hard way..
i love the security aspect of it.. it was and still way in advance than windows systems or others..
i'm unfurtunatly stuck to version axp 6.2 due to some in-house application but i'm trying to make the full use of it..
i'm also playing with Charron and other VMs simulation.. maybe it will repla ce my server 1 day..
thanks for your support and advise.

MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
