RE: Use of the IFS

["Don" <dr2@xxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

You forgot Trevor reminding us that the S/38 is now called an AS/400, uh or
is it iSeries...uh, maybe System-i....OH, just "I"...yeah, I think that's
it...at least for this week...  Hey, Yogi, is it over yet?

And then there's IBM trying to do a mind meld with iSeries folks into
thinking COMMON is a great place to have eunochs sessions...Uh, I mean unix
sessions...oh dammit, AIX sessions...that's it... :)

As for the change, well, that's probably all I'll have left after paying all
these new taxes I'm hearing are in the pipeline from your buddy across town
in Chicago... BTW, what's the current bid for his senate seat up to??? :)

Anyone going to CES in Vegas next week???

Happy New Year! :)

DR2

Ah, I can't help enjoying the delicious irony of the "New" Year.  Nathan 
is already pushing the merits of RPG over all else, while Lukas is busy 
pushing back the Wonders of Windows.  Next we should hear Dave Odom 
chiming in on how DB2 is not a "real" database and Steve Richter telling 
us how much ILE sucks.  Then all we need is Simon Coulter telling 
somebody how stupid they are, and the year will have gotten off to a 
wonderful start, just about as "New" as the "new" White House 
administration.

The more things change...

Joe
