Re: Gotta visit this Forum !!!

John,

I did visit it.  I did signup under their registration process...it still
won't let me reply...so here's my reply:

They're operating from the fallacy that ones applications HAVE to be on
the net.  They don't.  Ergo, you don't have to presume that you HAVE to
migrate all that old RPG, COBOL, PL/I, BASIC (Yes, there's folks still
using it on the 400), etc to the web.  Only the press would make this
presumption.

Further, there are several really nice ways of in effect running your
database (RPG, etc) applications as web'ables virtually transparent to the
end user or with minor mods...I don't see this as a big deal...

Further, the 400 is one of the most sercurity and anti-viral secure boxes
you can put on the web...so why not?  :)
