That's creepy, I was just reminiscing about working on VAXen less than 12
hours ago!

One of my favorite bits of the VAX documentation was the book "VAX/VMS
Internals."  Each chapter started with a related quote.  I think the chapter
on the layers of security cited Tolkein's description of the construction of
the city of Gondor in concentric rings.  But the best quote was one for the
chapter on memory, that quoted Joe Walsh:

"I was in the Eagles? Cool!"
