OK. I admit it. My resume still lists that I spent a few years hacking
assembler code for OS/VS1 and HASP 30 years ago.
But it's there as one endpoint, that wanders from there, to IBM's VM, to =
SunOS,
and Sendmail, some AIX and 8 or 9 other Unix flavors (anybody else rememb=
er
UTX/32? If so, we need to share a few beers and swap stories:), computer =
security,
to supporting SGI virtual reality systems in the late 90s (IR2 graphics p=
ipes,
woo-hoo), to Linux (my code is in every Android phone out there. OK, only=
a few
dozen lines, but still ;), helped build a top-5 supercomputer and a few o=

things along the way, and now I mostly do high-performance storage
infrastructure. Oh, and a paper in the IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Scien=

along the line. ;)
So no. OS/VS1 isn't relevant now. What *is* relevant now is that I have =
3
decades of experience at being tossed new stuff by the boss and getting u=

got this

e in the
shop is the day it's time for me to retire. ;)
So the OS/VS1 reference stays. ;)
