ICL VME
Thanks for adding more detail to the page. VME was the first commercial OS I used (as a systems programer) after university where we had GEORGE 3 and 4. I went on to work on IBM mainframes, it was like going back to ancient times compared to working on VME. The IBM sales support guys could not get their heads around SCL, thinking it was ICL's equivalent to JCL... all came good when they let REXX out to play. The ICL machines being replaced were modern boring air-cooled cabinets, the IBM was beautiful polished brass cooling pipe, we had the last generation of these before IBM went air-cooled.

Hello, I'm Dudhhr. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on David Pearson (computer scientist), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!  dud  hhr  Contribs 04:44, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 05:08, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at David Pearson (computer scientist), you may be blocked from editing. Meters (talk) 05:25, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at David Pearson (computer scientist). Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at David Pearson (computer scientist). Meters (talk) 05:30, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
