What a high to go out on!

Good for the humility, bro.  I haven't been that humble myself yet ;-)

    I wish people could contain their snarfs to chit-chat.  Otherwise, this
    file will get all snarfled all over the place. :-)

 Speaking of not being able to help myself, today in the cafe we have
 fried chicken, hoppin' John, collard greens and cornbread! Yahooo!

Hi Jim,

Sounds like you *are* about to help yourself ;-)

 I did...there goes my diet, but I've had this flu/cold bug now for several
 days and was sick all weekend, and for the first time in a while felt 
 like eating...it was great!

400.9Can we make this a "goodbye" note, so Brian can keep his Snarf ?CNTROL::JENNISONUnto us, a Child is givenMon Feb 14 1994 15:0211
	Oh Brian,

	I was just thinking how nice it was to see you back in here
	again, and off you go...

	Wishing you and your family all of the best, and praying for
	God's covering on you all.

	Love in Him,
	Karen

400.11Beat you to it, &rew! SNARF!!!FUJIS2::PHANEUFTue Feb 15 1994 07:4745
    Snarf, again! Beat you to it, &rew! 8^{P
    
    Yeah, my manager failed to live up to his promise to hire me
    permanentl.
    
    (He blew that off several months ago), I;ve been  (boy I hate terminal
    emulators!
    
    Let me try that again!
    
    He blew that promise off several months ago, I've been "just" a
    contraor 
    since then. Well, despite further assurances recently that I was secure
    until
    the end of the fiscal year, I got my notice a week ago. I'm all done
    this Friday.
    
    Moreover, I don't know when, if ever, I'll be back. Because of the
    strage
    Personnel rules hear in the US, I can't return to Digital for at least
    90
    days, as I've been continuously engaged by DECtemps for over a year.
    Additionally, I can see the handwriting on the wall. The future of
    VAXVMS is extremely limited, and is surely no where near the leading
    edge.
    
    Indeed, I suspect that UNIX and C are really not the futrure, either.
    Rather, I believe that desktop systems (like my MacIntosh, PC's and the
    like), 
    utilizing visual based, object-oriented programming (ala VisualBASIC
    and
    VisualC++) are more like the future. DEC has no such software vision.
    It 
    never could see much further than be next chip, anyhow. It's too bad,
    really,
    that Digital is so hardware biased, because some of it's software was
    pretty great...
    
    So, my future apppears that it may well lead away from Digital, rather
    than
    back towards it.
    
    See you later - "I'll be ridin' with Him..."

	Brian, you'll be sorely missed.

	Keep fighting the good fight!
