I think the issue is not that schools don't teach iSeries per se, but the
very concepts that make i5/OS are not taught.  Single level storage is never
mentioned in IT classes, and in database classes it is taught that DBA's
must spend a great deal of time doing things that are automatic on iSeries.
It would be great if we could at least become a footnote.

I'm not so sure about the school thing.  I've yet to meet a business that 
had a Univac 1100/80 that I attempted to learn fortran on at Michigan Tech 
years ago.  And I think a lot of businesses can differentiate between a 
computer used as a learning aid, and one used for running their business.

Re: iSeries Radio Ad








Nah, this is just a thaw.  It won't last or have even intermediate term
impact unless and until the schools start cranking out people that have a
clue, understand and appreciate the value of OS/400.

We've had almost a full generation of IT Mgmt come through the school
systems being pumped full of unix and windows...that's all they know and
that's all they wanna use....  Face it, you don't buy something you don't
know about as readily as something you do know about...

Safe trip to COMMON, Al, et al...hope you keep warm....drop by the LUG
booth and pickup a pin....
