Re: What is an AS/400?

I wasn't gonna reply to that post but, in defense of those loosers, thats
the whole point to the site.  It is stated in plain language on the front
page and in some other warning on the site.  It's main focus is not about
learning, this list and others have established themselves as those
"learning institutions", GenX is all about venting and not being worried
about who you offend.  There was some pretty funny stuff there but the rest
their databank and lost it all.

This was like a month ago and some dude posted a buncha fake IBM
announcements where there was a major shake up in the org chart of IBM,
really funny stuff and kinda scary because it was a parallel of what
actually happend not a week ago.

Anyway - don't be so pent, got to www.rpgenerationx.com and vent.
