RE: Midrange Computing Closed

The monday morning update was the best thing about midrange computing, at
least in recent years.  Problem for MC is that it was free.

I don't know that their demise has anything to do with the as/400 market.
Instead I think it has to do with the massive amount of information
available from many sources.
