Joe, Believe me, I'm not seduced at all. Personally I think that whole environment is a charlie foxtrot and a step backwards. And I'm being nice....

I understand that you are simply questioning where exactly the emphasis should go. It's the same when I'm explaining why JSP Model II is architecturally superior to RPG-CGI; which issue is going to make the most sense to the audience? I just wanted to be sure that you weren't being seduced by the masses of apocryphal non-data out there that purport Windows to be as stable as the iSeries. There is some real evidence that a properly maintained Windows server can be pretty stable, but the claims that it's more stable than the iSeries are unfounded. The only person from the "dark side" whom I trust at all on this issue is Walden, and even he is clear that it requires a properly configured and maintained Windows box to stay stable. > And as a result of some of these discussions I do have an updated > resume...... That's funny in a really sad way.
