--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    I'm history again, after 8 months with Digital in the UK FM group.
    
    Having spent 1983-1992 in Digital, I was glad and happy to get the
    opportunity to return, for a while.
    
    I have renewed friendships with many DECcies and not a few DIGITs.
    
    But, my contract has come up for renewal, and my skills do not
    generate the revenue for me in DIGITAL that they do elsewhere. So I
    must, it seems, move on.
    
    I am happy and sad about this. Happy because I won't be worrying about
    money for a while. Sad because, once again, I am departing from Mother
    DEC and am not all that pleased about it.
    
    So to all my friends and colleagues, cheerio! 
    
    I hope that my DEC 2000 vision is visited by Bob  Palmer and, at least,
    considered.
    
    (Of course I'd like to stay with DEC UK. If you have a project that
    a VMS "14-year-trainee-guru" can help with, drop me some mail at
    andy@reboot.demon.co.uk.)
    
    All the best.

    Andy,
    
    I think you must be the first with a "goodbye" in here twice :-)
    
    Good luck,

    Good luck  (again) Andy.  Maybe in another 18 months or so, we'll see
    another welcome note from you.
    All the best,

	He's still here somewhere. To put in an emotional farewell
	then linger for at least two more weeks must be the height of bad taste!

	Andy, did you chicken out and renew?

    No. I leave on Friday. I'd have preferred to stay with DEC but that
    doesn't seem likely right now. 
    
    As I may have said, I'm heading out for a more interesting role at a
    more interesting rate. I may be back.

I think, I hold the record - check out .7!
