Another...I, for one, remain confident about the iSeries future, and no amount 
of 
whining from the sidelines will change the future.

Yep - that is simply a misguided rant! I guess negativity continues to reign 
supreme on this forum...

What if Peter has found an opportunity that he cannot pass up? What if his 
iSeries stint was a great step for him? What if he has had a positive impact 
on iSeries marketing, and his legacy will live on? Would you wish him the 
worst because his career is improving?

Mark Shearer has told us that he is committed to the iSeries. Mark is the 
driving force behind the change in iSeries. Mark is still there. He will 
hire someone who fits the position, and the iSeries momentum will continue. 
I, for one, remain confident about the iSeries future, and no amount of 
whining from the sidelines will change the future.
