To which Neil Cherry <ncherry(a)home.net> replied:
D.E.C.^2 ( Dee Eee Cee Squared), DEC Conservationists,
what else (see
your statements below). It's not an illness, it's an enviromental
concern. :-)
And Sellam Ismail <foo(a)siconic.com> also replied:
Mental DECay?

I will have to pick Sellam as the winner.
Then in an email this morning from Germany:
I managed to install VMS 6.1 (VAX) from scratch with a
license PAK i
'borrowed' from a Mentally DECayed person on this machine but i do not

Sellam, as the originator of this, your legacy is going to be such
that you were the first person associated with this form of insanity. ;)

You just won in my mind. That is beautiful. Too bad Compslack is
methodicly erasing the very name (DEC). Pretty soon it will be only us
old-timers who remember what DEC meant to the world.
Oh, and quite a few Russians, Poles, Ukranians, and other former
Soviet-Block folk.
I wish I had gotten into Dec before the fall, but I know from my Phrack
dayz...... Wish the FBI hadn't given me that blanket party in 86' or I'd
be hotter than I am on VMS.....
Sorry to anyone who did time, but stealing credit cards is not hacking.
Regards,
Jeff
