Re: Future of 5250 and other interesting topics.

        Jan, give it a few more years, the way things are going, i would not be

        Next time around it will be called a 0525 thin client, that, because it
does 'client server' work, and the main files are all on the
server....stay with me....only has a floppy drive, for downloading some
data for MS back-office
blah, blah,blah
