How does Murphy know when to strike.
Argh, I went almost 15 years without losing a single mail message. Less than
two months of using a "modern" mailer and they're all gone. I want my VAX/VMS
back.
Everyone who sent me mail about needing a reporting channel for the Y2K
rollover on New Year's, could you please send me another message. I had
not copied the names down before my mailbox disappeared.
Thanks.
Yes, I was thinking about a backup. I sent this message early this morning,
before I lost all my mail.
