   Hello Janis!   
      
   12 Apr 20 16:07, you wrote to me:   
      
    JK> How are you doing?  I hope all is good with you and your family in   
    JK> this difficult time across the world!   
      
   We're well, locked in our home we go out only to buy food and basic   
   necessities, I hope that you and your family are ok. :)   
      
    JK> I haven't had time to contact   
    JK> you since our last emails/netmails quite a while ago (we were talking   
    JK> about great Italian recipes).. Today I made a ricotta cake for   
    JK> Easter Dinner dessert, and last night I think I made some 100+ ravioli   
    JK> for our Easter dinner tonight :)   
      
   GREAT! :)   
   We had a sad easter, only my family, usually we are used to spent the easter   
   holidays with both my parents and my parents in law familys, but this easter   
   we couldn't.   
      
   But I did the homemade fettuccine and my wife did the sauce with mushrooms,   
   peas, sausages and cream, and the traditional oven baked lamb with potatoes.   
   All in all we did not happen badly. ;)   
      
    JK> Sadly because of "Social Distancing" and Covid-19, my Daughter and   
    JK> grandsons will not be with us (they live in Philadelphia, quite a   
    JK> distance from New York where Ron, my son and I live... but perhaps   
    JK> tonight we will try to set up a "Video-chat" between us all... I am   
    JK> looking forward to that tonight :)   
      
   Sometime the technology bring us nearest, sometimes is the opposite, I'm glad   
   that this time the good one will happen. :)   
      
    JK> That is interesting, my friend.  Thank you for telling us about that.   
    JK> I've never worked on a mainframe, but a long time ago Ron and I did   
    JK> some development work on Z80's.. boy that was a long time ago    
      
   I didn't worked on mainframes, the biggest iron where I worked on was a never   
   forget VAX 11/780, wonderful machine, I still love it, and I loce VMS O.S.   
   too. :)   
      
   Now I like to play on emulated PDP/11s and emulated VAXes, RSX-11M-PLUS and   
   VMS are great OSes, do you know that a swedish is still devolping on PDP11s?   
   Johnny Billquist has released a TCP/IP suite for the RSX-11M-PLUS O.S.   
   If you like you can telnet to gnappy.bizzi.org to have a test drive:   
      
   GUEST login with password "LUTHER"   
   To log in, type "HELLO" or "LOGIN"   
   To log out type "BYE" ;)   
      
   Or if you want to have a trip on VMS telnet ploffy.bizzi.org:   
      
   GUEST login with no password.   
      
   Maybe I could start to learn cobol development on these platforms. :P :P :P   
      
   Take care. :)   
      
   Ciao!   
   Fabio
