But Kelly insists that it's not the IBM vision.  Are you implying that
she just doesn't understand Al's views?

I think WebSphere and JSP are the best thing that ever happened to RPG.
I'm just thrilled that IBM never succumbed to the constant requests for
a native GUI and instead jumped on JSPs when they became available.

If you term Java as IBM's "future UI", then by all means.  But Kelly
insists that it's not the language of choice for application
development.
