Hi all,

It's been 7 years in the making, or tearing down.  We shutdown our mainframe
December 31.  We ran VM for an incredible 38.5 years and it was a blast,
especially at SHARE and the various incarnations of this group!


   - Gerry Dube has retired (mostly), though not before helping all Maine
   K-12 schools and libraries be very well connected to the internet.
   - Kerry Anderson leads our e-mail, ID management, DNS and several other
   areas, and of course has built world-class tools to integrate and manage the
   systems.
   - My hats include Listserv postmaster, Oracle DBA, and backup and
   recovery.  We're just now implementing a new D2D2D system (Quantum &
   NetBackup).
   - Our administrative systems have moved to PeopleSoft on Sun Solaris
   SPARC machines, with nearly all of the rest of our shop on Linux Intel
   machines.
   - In an odd twist (of cruelty), we've retrained one of our mainframe
   operators to handle our Windows systems work.  ;-)


Happy New Year to all!

Cheers, Wayne
