RE: iSeries Radio Ad

Oh poo on this.  I'm sorry, but the vast majority of people I have ever
met in the midrange didn't learn it from school.  And while there may
well be some IT managers who don't know much about OS/400, that's the
fault of consultants as much as IBM.  Face it, there's a lot of IT
managers who don't know Unix, either.

Anyway, the way you get the word out is by getting the word out, and IBM
is doing just that.  You can naysay all you want, but the iSeries world
got a lot rosier this year.
