Catherine, Speaking of pizza and beer, I got my first lesson on VM Paging at the local pub here in Peoria. I was 23 years old and was drinking beer and eating pizza, imagine that! The IBM SE ended up drawing some pictures on the back of a bar napkin so I could understand it. Then a few days later he gave me this document THE PAGING GAME http://baetzler.de/humor/paging_game.html I sure learned a lot at Sully's Irish Pub back in my bachelor days!
