    As I approach the end of my tenure at Reed Elsevier Technology Services
    (a.k.a. LEXIS NEXIS), I can't help but think ""what a long, strange trip
    it's been"". 25 years at RETS and 32 doing IDMS database and systems
    administration.

    I'd like to thank all on this list who have contributed their knowledge
    and wisdom over the years making life a bit easier for many of us.

    As I embark on retirement in ""the third half of my life"", I will still
    try to keep in touch via IDMSVENDOR-L (it's kinda hard to totally let go
    :-)).

    Farewell.

    "i first met Hal during his Mead Data days - i remember the his concern
    about whether he would have a job after the RET acquisition of Nexis-Lexis
    - looking back 17 years later, he needn't have worried. In my opinion, Hal
    has always been a great guy: even tempered, cheerful, knowledgeable, and
    most importantly, always pretended to be interested in anything I had to
    say. Good Luck with your retirement , have fun, and ...

    "Thanks for the ""ATTABOY"" Chris. The check will be in the mail. :-)

    With respect to the pod bay doors, ""Sorry Chris, I can't do that"".
