If the hundreds of people who have not commented so far sent some feedback that would be good or you may have an opinion of an item in a particular episode e.g a response to Colin's item in episode #9

Ok, general comments, more about content than the audio file itself. Interesting that they consider that when an existing customer buys some IA64 box, it is considered a "new win". And the fact that IA64 sales for VMS grew 77% is an indication that sales are still quite low. Over the various episodes, there has been talk about something called "T4 collector". I still don't know what that gizmo does in life. It was good to hear from Ann McQuaid. Finding out more about who is at the helm of the sinking^H^H^H^H^H^H^H ship is always helpful. No mention of why is telling Cerner to port to HP-UX instead of VMS. Good to know that HP will continue to refurbish Alphas and make those available through resellers. It would have been helpful to just mention who the two resellers are. Having to navigate the HP web site to find this info is bound to be a daunting expedition worthy of an Indianna Jones motion picture.

So this is an excercise to solve a Diophantine equation So they went from 9 sales to 16, 16 -9 /9 =3D 77% or 18 -> 32 27 -> 48 .... solution is left as an excercise to the reader > > > Over the various episodes, there has been talk about something called = = > "T4 collector".

T4 is the general name for a set of performance management tools for OpenVMS which are available free from HP -- see http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/t4/ T4 itself has data collectors for Monitor data plus a whole bunch of new sources of performance data that fill gaps that have developed in what Monitor collects, including data on LAN adapters, TCP/IP, XFC, Fibre Channel I/O, EVA controllers, etc. TLviz (TimeLine Visualizer) is a Windows program to do graphs and correlation analysis on the data collected by T4. If you have a performance problem you need help with these days, you will most likely get asked for T4 data.
