Re: Opinions please: GUI vs. 5250

Late November?  That is about three weeks?  Keep us posted, eh?  I wonder 
if they'll be on time, or if it is another case of promising anything to 
make a sale?

he did say he realized that the as/400 was a solid, reliabale machine. 
he's in boca raton, which once was an ibm meca. 

but it looks like we'll not get the sale after all, but not for the
reason you'd think.  his business plan calls for opening late november,
and we can't get a machine in time.  i think he's now found a unix
solution.
