I love that story.

Well my old VAX/VMS friend has finally died. It ran 24/7 for 26 years and was
only rebooted every 2 or three years(power outage or disk replacement). It's
either a bad disk drawing too much from the old power supply or the supply
itself needs to be re-capped. Fires up and boots but shuts off after couple of
hours. I could keep it going but I've been converting the VAX apps to LC since
2012. There was only one left and I'm finishing the conversion now. If was not
for LC's text processing(chunks) I could never have converted them all. The
last one needs to be done in a week or two, no prob for LC. For me this project
in any other language would not be possible. There was 12 years of Basic text
processing apps by a team of 4 programmers to convert. With LC it was all
converted by me in my spare time.
LC is my friend!
RIP VAX
