Goodbye, my friend--
  goodbye `til then.
Farewell until
   we meet again.
It may be soon,   
    it may be late.
For us it's always
   worth the wait. 






I'll miss our private
      conversations.
Quiet thoughts and
   inspirations.
All the times
    we laughed and cried,
All the warmth
    we felt inside.




    

Let's keep in touch
    in our own way.
Let's share our dreams
    another day.
Let's NEVER lose
    the things we've shared.
Let's part as friends
    who still love and care.
  

    Friends from all over the world (and you others too..:-)):
    
    I'm almost gone....have a vacation week coming ahead and looking
    forward to that...some days of driving around the country, visiting
    friends...three days at a race track, doing a race driver
    course...(which one of my friends won and can't attend!!:^))))
    
    
    See you in 10 days! Keep the spirit up!

    Hello everyone,
    
    This is my official goodbye note.  I want to thank everyone who has
    helped me out thru the years here and I am truly going to miss
    everyone.  If anyone has any leads on where I might go to next please
    let me know.  If any of you would like to keep in contact or if you 
    would like to be pen-friends thru the post mail my address is:
    3044 Cameron Way
    Santa Clara, CA 95051  USA
    
    By the way, I have access to this system until Friday.  Good luck to
    everyone.

    Oh dear, it's my turn!  Tomorrow is my last day as a digit - off to
    wild blue yonders and things like that.  Thanks for all your help,
    support and abundance of friendliness over the time.  ::friends is a 
    great place and I will miss it.
    
    All the best to all of you, take care, and don't do anything I
    wouldn't!  tee hee

    Well it's April 14th.
    
    I'm about to leave.... just wanted to wish everyone a fond fairwell.
    
    I tried to call many people but I just couldn't, it was a very busy
    day, and I still had to work. 8-(
    
    
    Keep in touch, write me or call me and I'll write or call back.
    
    later
    Chris
    
    
    (Oh and just because I'm leaving doesn't mean you guys can have all the
    women... they're all still mine, so pfffttthhhhh)

    HI,
    	This is a quick note to say goodbye. I am not leaving the company
    but I cannot participate in notes any longer due to some circumstances
    beyond my control. For those of you I met in here I have to thank you
    for some great times! Take Care
    
    Charles Robert Person aka Chuck
    

    
    the winds of change have begun to blow once more
    I see now the light that I must follow from here
    and it is time for me to say fairwell...
    Goodbye is not necessary because we will all meet once more in a
    different place...
    
    Im off for now
    
    	take care everyone
    
    			Chris Clark

    And this is my official goodbye note!  I am taking the package and I
    leave on 30 June.  It's been lovely knowing you all.  You've made me
    laugh, cry, share things, sympathise, empathise.....  I shall miss you
    all.
    
    Love,
    
    Kate

    
    
    Well folks, This is my final Good bye also. This is for all those who
    touched my life and other parts of my body....8*) It is very hard to
    leave, but once I get out the door I can sigh with relief.
    
    
    Good bye

    Good bye.

    
    Bye-bye friends,
    
    althought I didn't write often in here (I was more a reader) I want to
    say good-bye to everybody. I will leave Digital on Thursday, June 25.
    
    I had a great time here in ::friends and especially with my panpals
    whom I hope to meet sooner or later and also those I already met.
    
    Bye-bye for now

    I am finishing up on Friday 10th July.
    
    I have had a great time noting with you all and I am hoping that I can
    actually meet some of you during my travels. If people want to send me
    their addresses and phone numbers, I will try and catch up with you.
    
    Thanks for all the fun....

    for the mail that I have received and the friendships that I have made.

    most of you personally on my travels.

	After 13 years it has finally come time to say good-bye. One
    of the things I think I will miss the most is the notes files.
    I have written to and met some very nice people over the years.
    I started working at DEC while I was still in High School and
    worked my way up to supporting the 23 class design and release
    process and becoming the owner of DEC standard 184. It isn't
    easy leaving all those years behind but when transition comes
    knocking you don't have much choice.

	My last day is Friday, after that I will be at Personal
    Solution Computers in North Grafton. If you are looking for
    a good deal on a new personal computer give me a call at
    (508) 839-3289 and I will be glad to help you.

    Han Lasance has asked me to say hello to his pals in ::FRIENDS and to let 
    you know he's doing very well in his new job.
    
    He wishes everyone the best in the tough times Digital faces.

    Well gang, Friday is my last day.  Good thing I have this Blizzard
    here!  I'd like to thank all of you for your friendship.  We have this
    week yet to chat, but Friday is it.  Bummer.  I am not crying now but I
    sure will be once I get off of work.  
    
    I don't know what else to say here, I can't even think.  Yes, the news
    is official.
    
    *smile*
    Catherine

    Well i guess i have to enter something in here as friday is my last
    day.
    
    I'll miss you all but i'll pop in and say hi whenever im near a
    terminal 
    i'm not at all sad about leavin (except for missing you folks)
    im heading home to North Carolina (see ya soon Anne)

    Hill-y
    

    Well so far it's look like I won't be back next week.  I just talked to
    my agency and they said they don't have any assignments available yet
    and won't really know anything until the middle of the week.  I
    actually hope there's nothing available as then I can collect
    unemployment and take a much needed vacation.  The girl who watches
    Shane during the day want to take off for a couple of days to Salisbury
    Beach.  I'm game!!!

    Well guys, my last day is here....most of you knew that anyway...
    
    I would like to thank you all for being friends to me during my short
    stay at DEC. I wish I could stay on. I maybe back again one day, I hope
    so, it has been so much fun. I will try to be around today but I dont
    know what things I will have to do.
    
    I have made what I consider to be really great friends, I hope you will
    keep in touch.
    
    
    Thanks for Everything

    I wish you the best of luck, you've always been helpful when I needed 
    help and I'm going to miss it in the future.

    continue to keep the helpful attitude.

    My "Big Brother," Chuck Person, asked me to put this note in here for
    him.
    
    Unfortunately, Chuck got laid off 2 weeks ago, and his account was
    disabled before he had a chance to say good-bye.  He's been having a
    pretty good vacation for the last couple of weeks, and he is doing just
    great.  He has a lot of aspirations for the future, and it is far from
    being bleak.
    
    He wants to say good-bye to everyone and he wishes you all the best.
    
    Stilly and Manny:  Please continue with the Silk Shirt tradition!
    
    
    For anyone that wish to get in touch with Chuck, please contact me.

        It's tough.  .  .knowing the right words to say after so many
        years when you have  to  say  goodbye  to  someone.   So many
        laughs, tears, experiences of good and bad.  .  .that somehow
        a simple few words can't express  the  sadness  you feel when
        you know you're leaving a group that is as close as family.
        
        I was informed this morning that I am on the list to be layed
        off.  What this means is that Monday  will  most likely be my
        last  day.    I  have  mixed  emotions about the whole  thing
        because I have plans and hopes for the future.  The lack of a
        job  now  means that those will either be pushed out or moved
        up in time.
        
        I thank you.  .  .for all your kind words when I needed them.
        P&PE when  others  that  I  knew  needed it.  Hugs when I was
        feeling blue or just being there to listen.
        
        Please, do not  worry  about  the frog.  .  .though his plans
        take him far from  home.    I will be fine.  The future looks
        bright and hopefully, it'll only get brighter.
        
        Send your home addresses to BTOVT::BAGDY_M  so  I can stay in
        touch please ?
        
        I will miss you all. . .
        
        Kermit - wipes away a tear. . .

    NO!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    Everyone is leaving!  :^(
    
    *hugs* Kermie!  I'm going to miss you so much!  
    
    
    Lil' Devil
    

    
    I'm sorry to hear your news Kermit, I hope everything works out for
    you...8(

Damn!  

At least we got to meet, Frog.  

Take good care and go carefully...

    Matt - Sorry to see you go my friend!  You will be missed.

    MATT,
    
    
    I HAVE TRIED TO SEND YOU MAIL..AND I AM GETTING MESSAGES REFERRING TO
    BUGS AND I CAN'T SEND THEM TO YOU....MY ADDRESS THAT IS.
    
    PLEASE CALL ME MONDAY AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU!
    
    I'LL ME YOU MY LITTLE GREEN THING!

    Matt and Kermie,
    
    OVer the years we've bounced in and around all kinds of notes files,
    shared the discoveries of similar lives, hopes, and dreams... given 
    support were we could to those who needed it.  And discovered that 
    we both have very similar tongues.  ;-)
    
    It started way back in CONVERSATIONS and carried through to so many 
    different places.  I've laughed with you and worried with you.  I know 
    a little about your future plans and dreams and all I can say is that 
    if anyone diserves to have them work out, it's you.  
    
    Keep a cleared spot on the lily pad for me okay Froggie?  You never
    know when I'll come bustin' down through the clouds my tongue flicking 
    over my eyebrows and a spout of flame and smoke spuing forward.  
    
    Ah there's the key word... forward.  I think that's what we've had most
    in common over the years, no matter how great the lose in our past,
    we've always been able to move forward, hesitently perhaps but we've
    managed.  
    
    I'll miss you buddy and I hope all the dreams and hopes you've
    expressed, the things you search for in life are always there for you 
    and easy to find.
    
    All I ask is you leave me THE JEANS in your will.
    
    ;-)
    --Griffin (with a bit of Skip tossed in as well)
    

    Kermit,
    
    	You're the one frog I'll never forget ..am just so glad I got to
    meet you when I was there in late 1990.
    
    	We go back a long way, you and I. Here's to your every success in
    the days to come ..peace.. happiness ..and a good cold bottle every so
    often!!
    
    Don
    *8-.. sigh..

    
    
    
    Dawnne...tell Chuck that I wish him good luck and that I will continue
    with the silk-shirt tradition.....
    
    Matt...I'm sorry to hear about your departure...just when I'm starting
    to get to know you better you have to go on and leave....you take care
    buddy......hope all your dreams and inspiration come thru for you.
    
    Manny
    
    

    Unbelievable.
    
    So many people disappearing off into the future.
    
    Best of luck, Matt, and shall our paths cross again one way or another
    all the better...and regardless, may your roadway be one of love,
    laughter, and a long life.
    
    Shi

    
    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Our beloved Lustgod, Froggie, man with the tongue..........
    
    Matt, I have known you for a long time now (sheesh, even going back to
    UNOIT for one!!) and we've had so many fun times over the years and
    gotten to become very good friends and have always been there for
    eachother when we needed eachother......... I am really going to miss
    you, but think myself lucky to have so many special memories with you.
    :^) Take care my friend and we will keep in touch!! I wish you so much
    happiness for the future.
    
    Love and *smoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooches* (They were
    always sooooooooo good!! ;^)
    
    Bliss

Oh NO, Kermit, not you!!! I too am going to miss your face and wit around here.
I'm really glad for the times we've had to chat, and have a feeling this will
work out well for you...maybe time to get out of Vermont!!!  Keep in touch,
and I hope to see you when I finally have that barbeque and at other gatherings!

Much love, hugs and best wishes,

Lola

    Matt...you will be missed dearly by me.  I am very glad that out lives
    got to touch and that we shared part of our lives together.   You made
    me laugh so much, I had tears rolling down my face many a time.
    
    I hope that your future is bright, full of laughter, love and
    happiness.   I will miss you so much!!!  Keep in touch!!
    
    Smooches and hugs.....
    
    Victoria

    Kermie - hope this reaches you.
    
    I took a vacation day on Friday, and haven't had time to connect all
    day today - so long, farewell, & good luck in all your future whatevers
    
    *sigh*
    
    (anyone else notice that lately all the "new entries" in WHOAREYOU are
    from people saying goodbye?)
    
    
    regards...
    ...diane

    Now comes one of the more difficult goodbye's I've had to write.
    
    Not because it's hard to write, because there have been, over the 
    past few years, so many things to have to say about her. 
    I'm talking about Tracie Baker, aka Peachy-T, Baker-Tart, Lil' Welshie,
    and several other nicknames that are both repeatable and unrepeatable
    in here.
    
    How do you say goodbye to someone you've come to love this much?  It's 
    not easy.  I've tried to deny it, lie to myself about it, convince
    myself it's a joke, but it doesn't work out that way.  
    
    Tracie,
    
    Darlin' over the few years I've known you, I've come to, quiet simply,
    love you.  You've been a giggle, a thought, a prayer, a hug, and a
    friend.  I've laughed at you, and with you, cried for you, shared with 
    you and done all the things one would with family.  (Well, all accept 
    the drooling, you don't drool over your family).  
    
    When I've been down, you've found words to bring me up.  When I've felt 
    pain, you've done your best to heal.  When I created the last dragon, 
    you gave him a soul-mate.  We've always had fun together, and over time
    I found that contrary to some's opinions there's a lot more depth and 
    solidity, reality to you then just a 'dizzy blonde b!+ch'.  I've held 
    your hand over the net a few times and tried to do for you the things 
    you've done for others.  
    
    And I'm going to miss you.  More so then most of the other folks who 
    are leaving, although they too will be missed by me.  I'll miss the 
    thoughtfulness that went into sending me a picture of Annie and Myself 
    together from New Years.  I'll miss the joking that went on that night
    and carried on through to this day.  I'll miss the a$$ chewings Griffin 
    would get from Lil' Welshie, and I'll miss the kindness and tenderness
    that you so carefully hid from people until they got to know you and 
    could see through your clever act.
    
    I wish you... well, I wish you everything I can dear.  Happiness,
    health, luck, hope, dreams, beauty, easy journeys, everything.  IF it
    were in my power to give them to you I would, because of everyone I've 
    known, I've no doubt that you deserve them.  
    
    In other words, what I'm saying, which seems to keep getting tangled 
    in my fingers when I try to type it, is simply
    
    I'll Miss You.  
    
    I'll miss your barbed tongue when you're lashing out with an insult
    I'll miss your supportive words and poems when I'm hurting.
    I'll miss your clever little comments when I need to chuckle
    I'll miss your imagination when Griffin and Lil' Welshie are going at
    it.
    I'll miss your laughter and I'll miss your love dear.
    
    There's gonna be a big blank screen in the ethernet from now on.
    And under it, it flashing letters will be the words, "If Tracie were 
    still here, she'd fill this spot."
    
    Love you Darlin'
    Take Care and I hope and pray with all my heart, that you get it ALL.

    Miss T.  
    
    Well, there are friends and then there are FRIENDS... I shall miss you
    in both places.  I do not know your future plans, but if the winds
    bring your boat to Colorado Springs at any time, I would enjoy meeting
    you and I will wish you fair winds and a following sea.  
    
    May life be all that you want, and may your desires never wane.  
    
    Your wit and winsome ways will be surely missed.

    P.S.  If I had a long boat I would come aviking and you would be soon
    at sea with me.
    
    

    My turn, my turn!!
    
    My WONderful and dear friends...
    It is with mixed emotions that I inform you that I have resigned from
    DEC due to irreconcilable differences with my management and myself. 
    This has been brewing for some time, and I finally got just too tired
    of feeling like I was standing on a box with a noose around my neck.
    My resignation has been officially accepted, and although I offered
    a notice, it has been decided that it best serves DEC if I leave
    immediately...probably today.
    
    That will make it pretty much impossible, particularly if they
    pull my system access (and I assume they will), to correspond with the
    many of you individually that I have come to know and love over the
    past almost-a-year that I've noted in this file.
    
    Don't be sad for me...I see this as a new beginning!!

    Annie asked me to post her address and phone, even though she offered
    to give her four week's worth of notice her manager has decided it is
    in Digital's best interest for her to leave the office area today.  She
    will lose her account immediately. She did say that she had received
    everyone's mail and thanks all of you for the warm wishes. 
    
    Her address:

    She most likely will not get to read any mail sent after 3:00 p.m.

    Linda Lobov just called me.
    
    It seems that her boss gave her a 10 minute notice last Friday, and
    told her not to come back on Monday.  They took her account away
    right away and she wasn't able to let anyone know.
    
    She wants me to tell everyone good-bye and she wishes everyone well,
    and hopes she will still be involved in any activities.
    
    She asked me to post her home address and her phone number.
    Feel free to giver her a call and wish her the best.  She'll be
    at home for a while.

    	Just got off the phone with her and she is bumming..... Also she
    said that she won a party at the Comedy Club so we should all stop by
    when that happens, I think she said November 6th. Either I or someone
    else who gets in touch with her can confirm this. Also she is still
    working at Spooky World so maybe we should get a party together there?

    I am here to say GOOD-BYE TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!
    
    I have to leave because of my being too exhuberant, for those of you
    who knew me, you know what I am talking about.  I just couldn't control
    my eagerness to help people.  Maybe my agency can find me another
    assignment where people will appreciate my eagerness.
    
    I'm glad that I got to meet all of you, you have made me feel welcome
    and I appreciate that.  I don't want anyone to be sad, just hope and
    pray that things will work out.
    
    I just had to come and collect my things and say GOOD-BYE, with tears
    in my eyes, because I don't want to leave my FRIENDS.  It hurts to say
    good-bye, because I may never see any of you again.
    
    I love you all for making me feel so special and a part of something,
    but all good things must end so they say.
    
    If you would like to write to me, you may get my address from Skip by
    mailing him at 3230::hogge.
    
    I hate to say good-bye, so, I'll just until we meet again.
    
    May the road rise to meet you,
    May the wind be always at your back,
    May the sun shine upon your face,
    aAnd the rain, fall soft upon your fields.
    And until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the palm of HIS hand.
    
    

    Well, gang. 
    
    As some of you already know, I officially got the "package" yesterday.
    
    I don't see much out there within DEC, so it's quite likely that
    Friday will be my last day as a DECcie.
    
    I'm gonna miss you all, but I will try to stay in touch somehow,
    but that is something I'LL have to work out.

    Well kids - one more week and I'm outta here.
    
    I've been re-orged twice in a little over a year, and if I were staying
    I'd be re-orged again in Jan. Maybe. No-one seems quite sure.  I'm just
    tired of feeling that no matter how well you do your job, it's a
    crapshoot whether you get a raise or a pink slip.  
    
    I guess I've just wished goodbye and good luck to one too many
    ::FRIENDS and others over the last year - an opportunity arose to move
    on, and I decided the time has come to leave home.
    
    And so, after 11.5 years, I'm off.  I'll be working for a large
    customer in NYC - so I may run into some of you on the phone or at
    DECUS sometime.  For the rest, I hope like hell things get better
    around here.

    I know I haven't been here long, and I haven't noted much, but what
    with my lurking and all I have come to know you all a little bit. I'd
    like to say a quick thanks and goodbye to all ::FRIENDS, It is possibly
    the most friendly, least assuming and most amusing conference that
    there is on EASYNET and I'm glad that I found it. Good luck to
    everyone, I hope the current situation in Digital doesn't claim all of
    the active noters in this conference as It'd be a shame to loose it...

    I have to post my farewell today.  But as far as I'm concerned it is
    just a 'goodbye' from ::FRIENDS cuz I'm sure to stay in touch
    otherwise!
    
    I'm not a poet but it occured to me that one of my favorite verses of
    all time is pretty appropriate here.  It is by J.R.R. Tolkien:
    
    "The Road goes ever on and on
     Down from the door where it began.
     Now far ahead the Road has gone,
     And I must follow, if I can,
     Pursuing it with eager feet,
     Until it joins some larger way
     Where many paths and errands meet.
     And whither then?  I cannot say."
    
    Enjoy your adventure Bliss!  And may life hold many happinesses for
    you.

        Well folks, the time has come for me to say good bye to you all. The
    TSFO Monster will soon pay a visit here where I work and I will most
    probably be "tapped" and given my pink slip after 17 years in this
    facility. 

    	I am writing this "goodbye" now because as of tomorrow I will no
    longer have a means to communicate with any of you as this and most
    terminals are being packed up and sent to Chihuahua, Mexico along with
    my job. That leaves me with virtually nothing to do until I get the
    "Package"

     	I would like to thank each and every one of you for your friendship
    and for the fun I have had over the last couple of years I have
    participated in this file. I only hope this TSFO madness will end soon
    as it has depleted this company and this file of some very good people
    who I have missed and will miss after I leave.

             There is a slight possibility of me staying with
        Digital, but it would be a demotion and a rather large cut in 
        pay. I'm still going through interviews but it doesn't look
        good at all. Just too many people trying for one or two odd jobs.
            
        Well, I hope to be back in here some day soon, but until then
    please take care and have fun in here. It is a great place to make
    acquaintances from afar and near of course.  Take care my Friends!

    Hasta LA Vista Baby!

    Ben, I am realy sorry to hear your news! Try to think positive 
    continiously though and all will turn out okay in the end. It always
    seems to do so somehow! I wish you all the strength and luck you
    deserve and hope you will get what you like! It always was a pleasure
    chatting with you. Hang in there friend! you're okay!
    
    Mark ;-)
    

    
    
    Ben, I too will miss your humor and friendly chat in this file.
    You are right that this TSFO stuff has got to stop.  This used to
    be *the* company to work for.  Now when you tell your friends that 
    you work for Digital, their first response is "Yes, but for how much
    longer?", or, "Oh, I am sorry to hear that."
    
    Take care of yourself, and keep your chin up.  We are all routing
    for you, and I hope you will be back in here very soon!

Best of luck to you.  Even though we noted at different times, I enjoyed reading
many of your entries...especially seeing your faces!!  I hope things work out
for you as I've heard they have for many former Digital employees, better than 
they were here!!

Peace be with you,

    On September the 23rd, while I was in Germany, the Digital
    Kinzele/Digital field service group released 500 persons.  
    
    My question:  If a company/Corporation of the Size of Chrysler can
    exist and be profitable with 30 Vice Presidents, why does Digital a
    smaller entity need more than a Hundred (100) Vice Presidents?
    
    Ben, Best of luck, Pard!
    
    Dave

    I would like to say Goodbye to a very good friend... she was in here
    for a while 3-4 years earlier, some of you may remember her.  
    
    Nanci Van Fleet has accepted another position with a firm in Boulder,
    Co.  I met her in notes, then when I was teaching in Bedford, I met
    her in person.  Since moving here to Colorado Springs, I have had a lot
    of contact with this very nice young lady.  
    
    I would like to take this chance to say I for one will really miss her,
    and I wish her and Emily all the best for the future.
    
    If you know her, you can send her mail from all in one via the
    following.  Use NM% only if your node has net mail installed.
    NM%MTS$::"CXO::Nanci VANFleet"  If you do not have All in one, I think
    she can be reached by vaxmail on BSS::VANFleet.
    
    Via con Dios Amiga!
    
    Dave

    
    I figure I might as well put this here.
    
    With all the work I have these days, among other things, it is no
    longer feasable for me to note very often, so I'm taking a sebatical
    from notes for a while.
    
    I'll be in once in a while still, but not regularly.  If anyone
    wishes to drop me a note, I can be reached at LEVERS::WOODFORD.
    
    
    Terrie
    

    
    Well, it's about time I let the cat out of the bag....
    
    As of March 11, 1994, I will be leaving Digital to accept a position
    with another company as a sales rep. I leave behind many friends and
    aquaintances, and with some sadness in my heart, because I'll miss you
    all.
    
    If you'd like to keep in touch, I can be reached by mail at
    
    259 E. Ann Arbor Trail, Apt C
    Plymouth, MI 48170  USA
    
    telephone 313-451-1268
    
    Or, if you'd like to forward me some addresses and phone numbers, I
    promise to keep in touch. I should be getting some kind of PC in my
    neew position, and hope to get some kind of Internet address to play
    with.
    
    Still here for 2 more days,

    Thanks for your address.. it always helps when I'm doing repossession
    work, such as last time I was in Detroit ..although the ::FRIENDS
    noters aren't aware of that story ..mebbe you might tell them.. you
    tell it better than I could ...hehehehe
    
    Don
    *8-)

    
    re .175
    
    Yes, Don, well....
    
    On Don's last trip to the States, he managed to pop into Detroit for a
    breif time, it seems that he and I shared a custoemr at that time. He 
    made it out to my office, and when he called for me and reached the
    group secretary, he said that he was here to repo my car! I was
    startled at first, but then realized that it must be ol' Down Under
    Don, up to his old tricks again!  
    
    We had quite a laugh over it, my only regret was that I couldn't spend
    some time with him showing him the town. As I recall, he had to take
    off to Pittsburgh to see another ex-Deccie, but that's a story for
    another time and place....
    
    Thanks for the good wishes, all. As they say on the radio, "Kepp those
    cards and letters coming!!"   -))))

    It's about dart time you said something, Robin of Detroit!  I was
    beginning to chew on my tongue keeping it to myself!
    
    You already know that I wish you tons of luck and you just make sure
    you keep your hands to yourself when you are visiting those hospitals
    and schools, ya hear!?

    Oh and by the way...I expect that pink flamingo to be hanging in the
    new office.  :-)))
    
    Shi 

     We had one here hanging from the rafters. It was put there after our
    jobs went to Mexico. One of our products was Flamingo.

     
    And I was with t. when Java said goodbye! If anyone still writes with
    him then tell him t. and I wish him all the best too and that we
    enjoyed having him very much too.

    I'll pass on the wishes, Mark!
    
    John and I have been buds for quite a few years...so if anyone else
    wants to get in touch let me know!  He's travelling quite a bit with
    the new job as he has a huge territory, but he gets home to check the
    answering machine on occasion!  :-)

    Hey you! terrific gang out there! It's me! m! 
    I'm at home and decided to log in and put in the news that I've
    finally got an agreement as what needs to be done by me to leave for 
    the US and leaving behind everything so my follower can pick up on what
    I leave behind! *nothin!* hehehehehehe
    
    I may, just may have to hang low for the next 5 weeks until at least
    I get everything finished so I can say: "okay! If I have to resign to
    be able to start with digital hopefully in the US again then so be it! 
    and I will!!!! and hope for the best of course! ;-)))))))
    
    but..... you all get to talk to t. in the meantime so I won't be a
    stranger! ;-) I'll peek now and then to see if you are all still
    having fun and are being rediculously funny!

    I hope you realize that once I resign that there is the possibility
    that I won't be working with dec in the future!!!! I hate the thought
    but being with t. means everything to me! I hope you all understand?
    
    Okay so much from me for today! Mork signing off! 
    
    o! p.s I love the way how you all make me laugh all the time! *HUGS*
    and >M< sure is the happiest cheerful person I have ever come across in
    FRIENDS next to most of you! ;-))))))))))))) 
    
    so long for now all! I'll be back later? yep! later! ;-)

    At least you are drawing closer to being with t. - the most important

    Boy I hate to be replying to *this* note!

    Is it legal to post our address in here? (so why should I care what's

    All the best t!!!!
    
    If you decide to fly to Tulipland to spend time with Mark, maybe it's

    Send me your address and # just in case I can't find where I 
    stashed it.  I'll drop you a note and let you know who's

    Thanks!   Your notes make my eyes blink very fast!  *blinkblink*
    
    One of the best things about DEC is the friendships and more I've
    made!!!!
    
    Charles, I will be flying to Mark this Friday!  A FRIENDS meeting in
    a field of tulips sounds pretty cool....hahahaha  Bedankt!

    me too, t.!
    
    ..zoe

    
    awwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Thanks everyone! ;-) Those were
    very meaningful kind words!!!! I wonder why no-one said it STINKS! 
    This is not the way you treat your employees and especially the ones 
    that were loyal for sooooooooooo long that I'm ashamed to be working 
    here! It's management that doesn't know left from right anymore %$@$%#@
    
    I tell ya! digital won't be long if they go on like they do right now!
    Firing their good people is not saving the company! The longer the rest
    of us stay the less they will pay! So watch it friends! 
    
    I'll be too busy for sure to be in here probably but please send mail
    when you want to leave something for t. because I'm picking up my
    lovely wife this Saturday and am going to spoil her wrotten! ;-)))))))
    
    love ya'll! thanks!

t.,

This is terrible news...it does STINK.  I'm going to miss you and Mark more
than you know.  You have my address, so please keep in touch!!

Alot of people that have left this company have found better opportunities
elsewhere, and I'm sure this will happen for you.  You and Mark are such good
people that you deserve the best!

HUGS,

    Lola! hi! ;-) thanks! I'm sure with the help of God we will both find 
    nice jobs again and our strong love will allow us to be happy so easily!

    Well, I'm NOT saying good-bye, but I have a message from someone who
    was TFSO's just less than two  months ago.
    
    M-L called me today.  She's already found a new job!  She'll be working
    for Novice, Inc.  A software place that does a lot of software for the
    major airlines.
    
    She's doing well... all of her furrfaces are wonderful .. she's enjoyed
    her time off, but is quite eager to go back to work.
    
    Holly
    

    
    
    	Excellent! Will she have an internet address???
    
    
    chico

    Not sure about that yet.  When she gets one, I'll be sure to get it and
    send it to anyone who wants it.
    
    Holly
    

    Thats great news, Holly.  I'm real pleased she found new employment so
    quickly - times are tough, so it takes some doing.
    
    Next time you speak with her, please wish her well from me.
    
    Jackie                                                     

    
    
    Glad to hear about M-L - send her our best!!!  That makes me feel
    good!
    
    Bye for now!
    
    t.

Everyone else is doing it, so will I.

I found out last week that there will be major cuts in my group.  
Since the group will be about half what it is now, there was no 
need to keep my job either.  We had a very close "office family".
I'll miss them very much.  When my manager told me she was 
visibly upset.  She said she would hire me back when things "got 
better".  I think it would take a lot for me to come back to 
this.

I'm slowly beginning to let people know.  They express how sad 
they are etc.  For me, the only sadness I feel is seeing that 
they will be staying.  Working in these kinds of conditions 
cannot be good for anyone... the stress, the uncertainty...

Digital has been very good to me and I really can't complain 
(too much!).  I'm very excited to make a fresh start after 
8+ years here.  They've paid for my education and have helped me 
gain the skills that are very marketable right now.  I really 
hope the company can return to profitability, but I'm honestly 
not very positive about that prospect.

I'm very glad that I've gotten to know a few of you and wish you 
all the very best.  Remember who is number one, always.  Make 
sure you have skills you can fall back on in case things don't 
work out for you here. I'm one of the lucky ones because I was 
prepared and could react quickly.  I'm sad to say that some of my 
co-workers were not.  People are not being let go because of poor 
performance, it's a numbers game and when your number's up... 

Remember, don't take the crass and immature attitude of saying 
"S/he deserved to be laid off" because one day it could be you.
                                     
Warm regards,

Michelle

    Hellllloooooooooooo ya'll! looks like I pulled it off after all!
    
    I'm handing in my resignation today and will leave digital to join
    my lovely, sweet and caring mrs. in Cumming GA. My flight is on
    Sunday June 19th! I have enjoyed this conference with ya'll to the best
    and many many friends in here will be in our hearts forever. I *know* we
    will be seeing some of you in the near future which I am looking very
    much forward to! ;-) If anyone of you doesn't have our address then
    please let me know. We will be letting you know how we are doing.
    
    I wish everyone of you the very very best in what's to come. I hope you 
    all get to keep your jobs and that digital will improve itself to what 
    it used to be, a secure company where we work as one big family! You
    all have been a terrific help in being there for us when needed and I
    hope you all enjoyed our company as much as we did. Thanks everyone!!! 
    from the bottom of my heart! 
    
    This conference has a tremendoes value and I hope you all will take
    good care of it and one another as we always do and did! ;-))
    For *us* Theresa and me, we managed to get to know each other through
    this conference and have established to join together for life! This 
    is something very unique if you think of the real distance that was 
    between us. Computers and networks, what an invention!!!! 
    
    So, bottom line, I'll be around to reply and all but will be very busy 
    arranging everything until I leave, As of Friday the 17th of June, next
    week, my account will be gone and I will not be able to reply to you
    all anymore but will be taking you with me to start my new life in the
    US! Thanks again!!!! *HUGS* and *KISSES* (for the ladies!) NO KISSING
    CHICO! hehehehehe Without you all I would not have been able to 
    establish everything the way I did! ;-))))) Thanks for the love, the
    caring and the being there when needed in good times and lowzy times! 
    
    May you all have a super life with all the joy it has to offer! 
    Take care,
    Mark ;-)

    One more goodbye note...;-( 
    
    I guess it's my turn to say adios.  My last day official day will be
    8/5/94.  I am looking forward to life outside of Digital as this ship
    is slowly going down.  Best of luck to all of you who chose to remain.
    
    It's been an interesting ride.  Icebaby I will miss you terribly, you
    are a great guy, take care of yourself.  John, what can I say...we have
    been through a lot together.  Hang tough and remember life is a box of
    chocolates, you never know what you are going to get;-)
    
    I will miss you all, there are many memories I have from this file
    which I'm sure if I posted -  could ruin a few lives;-)
    
    Lastly, Don..thank you for your unique tour of the networld and all
    it's wonder.  I've learned everything is possible on the net, I've lived and
    breathed it and will now doubt have withdrawl when I leave;-)
    
    It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

    To All MY Friends:
    
    This is not a good bye, just that I am leaving, I will have you all in
    my heart and my mind for the rest of my life.  I suspected that this
    would be BLACK MONDAY, and I was right.  I have new things to do, and
    new things to explore, Do not feel sorry for me, you are the ones left 
    on the sinking ship.  I have been rescued, and I am off to greener
    pastures.
    
    Love, hugs and gentle kindness to all.
    
    Dave�
    
    

Best of luck to you Dave. I've been getting a lot of similar mail today. The
shoe is dropping out here as well. My last day will be 9/30 through personal
choice. There is life outside DEC. The world is TEAMING with it 8^) Best of luck!

    	Best of Luck Dave.  Keep in touch, OK? And if you ever get out

    well glad i got to meet you CM!
    you gonna be at the American Lobster on the 1st??
    
    Chris
    :)

Yeah, it was good to meet you as well, Chris. The 1st is probably going to be
tough so I'm going to stay uncommitted for now and try to make it. Weekend time
is tough due to the hobby business. This is my busy time getting ready for
Christmas.

    chico

    
    	Well, all...I've been not knowing how to write this and thinking
    	about it sucks big time.
    
    	As you know we're doing the QUANTUM leap this weekend (THREE DAYS)
    	and after that, I will have no contact with this notesfile. (But
    	do miracles happen????)
    
    	I wanted to tell you ALL how much I"ve loved it in here. I've made
    	some friends, some good friends, some great friends and a SPECIAL
    	friend too. ;^)
    
    	The get-togethers have been a blast and I hope to be able to be
    	included in the future ones.  
    
    	This is one place that has been the stomping ground for many of my
    	anxiety attacks and my silliness as well. I hope I've made some of
    	you smile and a few of you laugh. I know that I've become addicted
    	to you all and really don't want to leave. I know that the 'leap'
    	is for the best, but it's real difficult to leave behind those you
    	feel a link with.
    
    	QUANTUM does not believe in notes conferences of any kind, whether
    	they are of work related issues or of personal interest...Oh, well,
    	you don't know what you have until you don't have it anymore.
    
    	I am really going to miss the interation in here and hope that some
    	how, someday I will be able to log on again and FLASH through!
    
    	I will have Chris post my INTERENET address as soon as they give us
    	the correct one, and please please please send me mail and keep me
    	abreast of what's going on.  (I just HATE not knowing what's happening
    	in here!)  ;^)
    
    	I'm going to be wicked busy the rest of the week and I'm not sure if
    	I'll get a chance to do anything but "flash" you all a few more times.
    
    	So, bye for now and until we meet again!!!
    
    	HUGS & KISSES to you all!!!
    
    	>M<
    
    	PS..Hope to see most of you Saturday at the American Lobster!!!!!

    
    
    	luv ya hun...I'll miss you in here terribly! remember, I'm just
    down the road in Rutland...look me up!

    Good luck Maureen!  We'll forward our notes to you and Joyce and

    Well guys and gals, 
    
    This is probably the last note you'll see from me.  I am just about to
    send the mail to IS asking them to delete this account.
    
    I had my exit interview yesterday, and all the kit goes back first
    thing next week.
    
    
    Seems strange after 8.5 years to be leaving - at one time I thought I
    was like a stick of rock... cut me and I'd have Digital imprinted...
    
    Not any more unfortunately.
    
    I don't know what I'll be doing - bit of this and that to start with. 
    I won't have an Internet account for a while... but as soon as I do
    I'll get someone to post it here.
    
    Bye, and thanks for being ::FRIENDS
    
    
    
    Xtine

    
    
    	Bye Xtine.... from another soon-to-be  X-DECCIE!!!
    
    	It is strange!!!  But there is life after DEC!!! Find it and
    	be happy!!
    
    	HUGS!!!

	bye xtine! I know you won't see this, but I'm putting it in anyway! :)

    Well after almost 9 years today is my last day as a DECcie.  When I
    return from vacation I will be walking into my position as a Quantum

         Hello everyone,
    
         The time has come for me to say goodbye.  Tommorrow 1-4-95 is my 
      last day as a Deccie.  I have taken a position with Hitachi and will
      be working in the Intel fab in Alburquerque, N.M.  I have been
      looking for a while now and believe this to be my next JOB and
      ADVENTURE.  Sorry I haven't had a lot of time to note but things are
      really getting hectic as the few previous notes state.  Well it's bye
      for now and GOOD LUCK to all.
    
                                                            Lee Cloutier
        

    
    
    
    bye Lee.... best of luck with the new job! 
    
    Chris
    :)

	good luck in the new job Lee! Hope to see you around the internet...:)

People,

This note is simply to advise you all that I have resigned from Digital 
today.

My reasons for leaving are simply that I've been made an offer which I 
cannot rationally refuse by another USA-based Corporation which is a 
major international OEM of Digital. (The offer was so good that even with 
all the perks I get now, I just cannot stay.)

I hope I'll still be around until Easter, but you know how it is when 
you're a sales guy.. resign and sometimes the policy is that you must go 
NOW ..do not pass Go.. just go NOW!

I have reason to believe the powers that be will let me stay on just a 
bit longer yet.. so here's hoping.

In the meantime, sincere thanks to you for being a special part of my 
life at Digital. (I'll be back to haunt you via the Internet once I get 
myself set up on that.)

Hugs for now,

		Don

    P.S. If you'd like details on how to contact me in future, please mail
         me and I'll mail them back to ya.
    

    
    Well, many congratulations, Don.
    
    Some opportunities are too good to pass up!
    
    HUGS!
    Jackie

    Re .307
    
    It *is* a great opportunity, Jackie, and thanks for your tidings.
    
    I'm going to miss everyone in here so much, I know, but then, if recent
    weeks are any guide, many of our mutual friends seem to be going
    anyhow.
    
    Don
    *8-)))
    
    

WOW! What a month for leavings. ..

Best of luck Don. I'll be emailing you.

    I'm replying with a tear in my eye....:(  I knew it was coming,
    but I didn't think it would be so soon.  So many good people are
    leaving.  So many good friends. :(
    
    Don, I shall truely miss you!!
    
    But, I do understand.  Offers like that don't come around every day,
    and you must always lookout for #1, and that's YOU! 
    
    *HUGS* to you, and best of luck in the future!!
    
    
    XOXOXOXO

    8^)
    
    See you in the morning!

	Bon nuit!

	:-)

Don,

   this is a very sad occasion to create a reply in here. Departures are both
   imbued with a sad rememberance of good times you had at one place, but also
   with fresh anxiety and unspoiled expectations about the new place to go.
   I'm glad that you can look back at your time with Digital without regrets,
   without the innermost sadness of lost chances. 
   You have time until Easter to do a "psychic clean-up". Then start at the new 
   company with new luck and new chances.

May all your future undertakings be blessed.

Warm hugs,
Martina 

    sniffle .. sniffle.. My dear friend Don..
    
    Of most of the people in here, I think you and I have been friends for
    the longest.  I'm going to miss you terribly!  Please, keep in touch
    with me.  I'm not sure how long I will be here in the company (I've
    just been told that I'm "at risk" of being TFSO'd) but please, get me
    an internet address so I can keep in touch with you.
    
    Waving to you with a big tear in my eye..
    
    Holly
    

    Holly,
    
    Thank you for your kind thoughts. I'm only going to be a few buildings
    along the same street from where I am based now, but being as I'll not
    be on the network, I'm going to find it very, very hard to get used to
    friends such as yourself not being within such easy reach. I'll be on
    the Internet, or so I am told, and I'll advise everybody of my new mail
    address as soon as I am able.

Don,

   you got me,,, caught me right at the very point of vulnerability:
   my English, my oh my... ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)
   I meant, and after checking with my dictionary, I still think that
   I was right with "undertaking", that all your future actions shall
   be blessed.
   Oh what a funny linguistic mismatch!!!!!
   I love those things... when other aliens do them. ;)  ;)  ;)

   Well, even though I'm here already for one complete year still does
   not hide the 2 green antennas wobbling on my forehead and the cute
   little purple wings on my back.... flap flap flap....
   I AM an ALIEN. ;)

    Martina,
    
    You're doing quite well and don't feel self conscienous about it. Even
    the natives like catching each other in double entendres (and most of
    us can't spell worth a d*mn either 8^)

Hah, thank you so much for your consoling words.....
I feel much better now. ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)

    /gina

    Well, before most of you arrive at the Office tomorrow, I'll have left
    Digital.. forever, I guess.
    
    This is a most emotional moment for me, being as how so many of you
    have been part of my daily life for so long now.. about 8 years or so,
    I think it's been. 
    
    I'd like to thank you all for being the wonderful friends you've all
    been to me and I look forward to continuing that friendship via mail
    over the Internet.. just as soon as I get myself all set up.
    
    Words could never adequately describe how I feel in leaving Digital. On
    the one hand, I feel that I am embarking on a new challenge; on the
    other, bidding goodbye from the viewpoint of interactive participation
    ... and I feel downright sad about that. I am just hopeful that my new
    employer will see that it's essential that I make my way around the
    world again soon, so I can get to meet you all again.
    
    Well, friends, in a sense this is Goodbye.. I'll still be poking about
    the network for about another 20 hours yet.. but I felt that it'd just
    be nice to say my Goodbye at a time when many of you are about.
    
    Hugs to you all!
    
        Don

    	Gad, how does one respond to such an eloquent goodbye? It won't be
    the same around here Don. I hope you can latch onto a good internet
    provider and at least keep up with us in e-mail. Good luck my friend...

Good luck Don. I'll look forward to hearing from you when you can. Have people

Hi CM,

   it is sad to see you leave. But I hope we will meet again, eg on a ::friends
   gathering. All the best and good luck to you. 
   I won't say good-bye, I will say "Auf Wiedersehen" (German for au revoir)

Hugs,
Martina

Martina, 

  I hope to meet you tomorrow night or in May when Jackie and Chris are around.
I wish everyone in here the best of luck with what's going on in the company and
thanks for lending an ear in my times of trouble. 

Keep an eye out for Pink Lightning 8^)

CM

Hi folks,

   CM's answer lets me come to the conclusion that we're on for Lasertag
   on Friday night.
   I need to know when and where we are getting together today/Thursday and
   tomorrow/Friday in order to tell Tina and >M<.
   So please bear with me for bugging. ;)

Pink Lightning:
   I will watch out for you! ;)

	Hello, hello, I don't know why you say good-bye when I say hello...
					The only, effectively, BenJ...

    Well folks, although it's ten days to go before it's official I thought
    I'd nip in and say good bye before I delete friends out of my
    notesfile. It's been fun the last six years although I have been quite
    quiet of late...
    
    I hope you all have a wonderful whatever, and enjoy the peace and quiet
    from the drivellings of the SQF Jambo #1 and the likes...
    
    See you all on the other side....

	BBye Greame!

	Have a nice life outside the zoo!

	As for me I'm psychologically preparing myself for leaving. Normally, my
contract with DEC ends the July 10th... I'm asking myself how we'll be able to
stay in touch. As I won't have any Internet address before...? , I think we
won't be able to stay in touch. :(

	Well I have to apreciate NOW what I've got and forget my future for a
while... 

		Ne voulant pas �tre triste aujourd'hui,		BenJ.	;)

    BenJ, presumably you are going back to university once your contract is
    up...most universities (especially those teaching computing) have access 
    to the internet these days, so you may have mail access.
    
    Jackie

	Wrong... I'm gonna have my military service for 10 months (begining
probably in December). And after I'll be able to try and find some work.
My studies are over now (OUF!!!!).

			Allez, tout n'est pas encore fini!	BenJ.	;)

    Thanks folks.  
    
    I'll probably pop in with the baby - the group here would never forgive
    me if they missed out on the chance to be clucky hens.  I'll stop by
    the conference to say hello from time to time!
    
    Hugs to you all

That's good to hear Jackie - so it's not goodbye yet!

Well, if I don't get the chance to wish you well before you leave the
country: all the best.

Hope everything goes well with s/he.

Live long and prosper...!


H  :o)

    Happy last day at work, Jackie!  be sure to let us know when the baby
    arrives!!  I know it's scheduled for the 15th, but babies have a mind
    of their own!  haha!  Be sure that we know what it is!
    
    And good luck!  Here's hoping that everything goes well!

    I know this is a little premature seen as I'm not leaving til next
    Friday but...it's just in case I don't get the chance next week as I'll
    be training my replacement!
    
    I want to thank all my ::friends for being such good friends..many of
    you (and you know who you are) have helped me through a lot of things
    and have been a great help just by listening and being there for me. I
    hope I hve been of some help to you guys even if it was only to act
    daft in order to cheer you guys up!! ;0)
            
    Anyways..you have my home e-mail address - please use it!! I'll try and
    get in the habit of dialing in regularly! It's been great fun and
    there's been times where I wouldn't have had such a good time if it
    wasn't for you guys!
