What do you do for a living?

I've spent slightly more (now) than half of my life in the software industry, formerly as an operating system developer for the large timeshare systems of Digital Equipment Corp (systems long since gone, and DEC was absorbed into Compaq who got assimilated by HP). For those that might have been around, it was before the VAXen; it was the DECSystem-10.

What a small world - my Dad worked at DEC between 1976-1988, first in Australia, then Mexico, Singapore, Mexico and finally in Massachusetts. His last job there was as software manager for Latin America.

We still have about a dozen Digital Alpha servers still in use here. I think HP is going to support them for about another two years, then that's it, end of life. Were getting some new 64 bit Intel boxes now in their place. My boss also used to work for Digital Equipment in Detroit some years ago.
 
Currently I'm a research technician at St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN (we fight childhood cancers), but I'm making the big mistake of starting med school in July.
