RE: Trivia: Processor MHz

[Jim Damato <jdamato@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

I've spent the past five years as an IBM apologist -- trying to implement
AS/400 systems in a VMS Ingres shop that wanted Unix and Oracle.  When I
leave here I'm gonna be a shepherd.  The only hardware I'll need is a crook
and my only software will be a dog.

Happy New Year.

-Jim

Jim, I think it is unfair to throw common sense and real world
experience into the fray. You keep that up, and you'll just be an "IBM
apologist."
