RE: Have you read this?

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

what about ILE?  Why hasn't that taken off?

No one has ever talked about the AS/400.  Why are we so quick to jump on
what the "other side" thinks is hot?

Your comparison is way off.  We write business applications.  If I were
going to program the hubble telescope, I wouldn't need to use RPg because it
doesn't run OS/400 or use DB/400.

Take care...
