Re: ADVERTISING SUPPORT FOR AS/400 ANNOU

Bob,

they've tried this ruse before sans success....and oh btw, last time they
told the community colleges that the boxes were only for teaching and NOT
production in ANY way shape or form....so, needless to say, even the IS
depts didn't take them seriousely...they were just overhead...   Also,
there were never any cirriculums(sp?) developed or implemented for alot of
the places that had boxes donated to...checkout N.Va. Comm. COllege...and
the list grows from there....

Bob, how many students do YOU know of that are coming out of a major univ.
or comm. college that have had SERIOUS explosure to the 400?  I think It's
gonna be a small list....and a shorter list of schools...which is
unfortunate fo the 400 arena...but REALLY FORTUNATE for us consultants who
are making major bucko's cuz there's not alot of talent out there...but
then the job market future is kinda not certain....
