[Cialug] Account requiem, or longest-held accounts.

[murraymckee at wellsfargo.com]

I've had an MVS account here at work since the day I started, Jan 28, 1982.  Unless my math is off, that would make it 28 years, 1 month, and 5 days.

Subject: [Cialug] Account requiem, or longest-held accounts.

After two months of warning, today the provider of my 
longest-held external shell account officially terminated 
their shell service offering and decommissioned the server 
at 17:30.  For me, this ended 13 years, 7 months and 10 
days of access (almost to the minute).  It's a bittersweet 
time, only tempered by the solace of being able to hoist a 
cold one with the original sysadmin of the box tomorrow 
night after a conference.

So I'd like to pose the question to the group:  how long 
did you have your longest-held active account?

Any OS is fair game here--from *NIX to MVS to RSTS to 
Windows.
