Re: More anti-midrange propaganda

Main problem I see is lack of motivation for education on the product line.

Some of this gets exacerbated by the press focus on movement of iSeries jobs to off shore resources. That being the case, why would one want this as a career direction from a college education?

And everyone knows PCs which make them as comfortable an environment as an old pair of shoes. [ Many colleges require student body to have PCs too]

another job to jump to and a ready excuse to offer when the new 'non-legacy'
system never gets off the ground.
