Re: Web apps on the AS/400

I have to say, being Java challenged, I have learned from this 'Horse
Beating', Food Fight', 'Chest Pounding', or whatever you want to call it. It
hasn't been perfect, but it sure has been informative.

In fact it the only 'Horse 'Beating' that I can say that hasn't wasted my
time lately. I even signed up to the Java400 list cause it sparked such
interest.

I am surprised you haven't joined in John, or were you out having an Ex?
