Yes, probably, you're welcome to laugh as I would if it were about someone else ;), but that's not my choice. And BTW, these VMS servers are used for managing a 35-million customer base in a tier-one telecommunication operator. We have plans to move the application to Linux/Cassandra, but I'll probably reach retirement age before the porting is completed.

And it could be worse than VMS. MSWin, for example. :-)

    So 35 million laughs only? ;-P
