Re: Midrange Computing is liquidating.

I'm speaking of the iSeries market. This, the failing of MC, does make a
statement about the AS/400 iSeries market.

Do you feel that it would have failed because advertisers are finding a
better publication to put their ads in? Which one(s)? Have you seen the
AS/400 product ads moving to other places? Is it because AS/400 readers have
new and better sources of information?

I'm sure the internet played a role here. But I was sure surprised to hear
about this.

If you believe that the best technology wins the
marketplace, you haven't been paying attention.
