I guess this means all is well again.

I think it means that others are discovering what we've known lo these
many years.

It's like deja vu all over again. Well, perhaps more like the cosmic
background noise that Jansky and Reber discovered in 1930's.....it still
sounds the same even today.


But to put it all in persective, I would equate Gorham to other giants of
science and technology like Planck, Boltzmann, Avogadro, Hubble, and others,
each of who has had a *constant* named after them. For his years of
championing and reminders of the number of VMS systems in daily use, I
hereby propose that hereinafter the number 411,000 shall be perpetually
known as One Gorham when used in reference to operational VMS systems in the
known universe.
