I enjoyed listening to you working on your VB/SQL Server application. I was cooking dinner for my visitors (my son and his girlfriend), and your show had a sort of ASMR quality to it.

I have never used Visual Basic or SQL Server, but that didn't seem to matter. It was interesting to hear about what you were doing.

Your comment about VMS file version numbers alerted me. I used to manage a two node VAXcluster running "VAX/VMS" as its "System Manager" from 1987. Later we replaced it with a DEC Alpha also running VMS, with the new name "OpenVMS". I very much agree that the version number feature was really useful, and I miss it! There was a file attribute you could set which auto-deleted the oldest files if there were more than a certain number of versions in a directory.
