Re: IBM OS/4i???

Well said. :-))

I'm sitting at a customer here in NY, where the boss's son got irritated at
having to look at green screens. The division he runs is using Timberline.
Since the other divisions are using two different green screen packages on
their own machines, and since the supplier of one of those packages was
coerced by IBM into having a Webfaced version, all the divisions are
migrating to that version.

During the initial stages of training, the managers of the payroll and A/P
departments clocked the speed of the data entry via GUI versus green
screen. Guess which version of the software will be deployed to the data
entry clerks?

Just think...by gutting the machine of reliable
coummuications and replacing it with the much more
updated methods(ethernet/TCP/IP) we will all have jobs
well into social security.

I want to go on the record as thanking IBM and the
marketing staff that came up with all those fabulous
ideas. This latest idea ought to be good for several
more years of support issues.

The new line to be used at customer sites will somthing
like this:

Customer: "Well damn... it used to work really well,
what happened ????"

Us: Uhhh, IBM decided that method was old and needed a
"fresh look" to appear "modern", so they replaced it
with this new method. I should have it working pretty
good in a month or so. I hope your customers don't
really need to use those ATM's.

I bet that shiny new OS/4i will fix these problems.

"May I order you a copy ?"






PS:

Just kidding for all the up tight crowd....
