Ken, there is one opportunity you might want to take advantage of: local user groups. I just was appointed to the board of the OMNI User Group here in Chicago, and the entire mission of these groups is education. And while there are a number of things the LUGs need to address, one of the big ones is to reach out to both non-iSeries shops and those iSeries shops which are being pushed to get rid of the box, to get the word out. It also means debunking some of the myths about application development. I'm beginning to do some of that at the IAAI. It really is about getting the word out, and thought it's hard, it's a worthwhile battle.
