Well, whilst IBM management tried repeatedly to kill off VM, the IBM
developers (including those for 'competing' operating systems) were
quietly saying "fuck that" and carried on using it.

I don't think my dad had anything to do with VM except that from
sometime in the 1970's onwards he was never without access to a "VMed"
mainframe ... access to his own virtual machine was kind of useful to an
MVS developer.

(I'm excluding the 6 months he was with the OS/2 PM group, learning C
and hating it)
