LinuxTag 2000: (big Linux fair, I was one of the staff at the BSD booth)
A bearded man with a RedHat was working around, surrounded by a big
bulk of Linux weenies. (Like a light is surrounded by moths in the
darkness.) The man came up to our BSD booth, I was sitting in the back
on my MicroVAX... Two other people of the booth staff tried to sell him 
a FreeBSD CDR, but he refused it, as he already had a machine running 
FreeBSD. (To our big surprise.) Then he came to me and we had a short 
chat about VAXen and other DEC machines. Once he owned some  VAXen in 
19" racks, but gave them away ... his wife, you know... He still owns 
a QBus DECsystem...
The bearded man with a RedHat was Alan Cox. :-) 

Also: I know the designer of the VAX 11/780 CPU data path unit and the 
DEC H4000. His son is on our german VAXgeek mailing list...
