Well, I'm curious about any mainframe OSes I've never had contact with, which is most of them. I currently work as an IBM z/OS operator, so I'm mostly familiar with IBM OSes. I went to college briefly at Lamar University in Beaumont, TX in '88-'89. Sadly I dropped out during my second semester. The computer science department had an overworked VAX 11/750. I worked as a volunteer operator on that system. I heard the engineering department had a Honeywell mainframe. There was one Honeywell terminal room in the computer science building that was used by a FORTRAN programming class. The doorway to that terminal room was the closest I ever got to the campus's Honeywell. I don't know what model it was, or what OS it ran. I still regret not finding out more about it while I was there. And that has made me especially curious about Honeywell OSes. -- Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.Lassie.xyz http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX What's the definition of a legacy system?
