RE: "State of the Midrange" by Don Rima

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This actually sounds like fun.  I've had a couple of letters  relating to
the 400 published in PC type magazines and it's a moderate ego boost to see
your name in print.  

A couple of months ago, my boss said to me "Congratulations, you're famous."
Our marketing department subscribes to service that searches the Internet
for references to our company name.  I'd written a letter in response to an
article in "Software Development" about the rigors of converting
applications to 64 bit processing and my name turned up from the return
address.  I think most of the people on this list know how hard it was to
convert applications to 64 bit processing on the 400.<g>
