what about saying system i IBM lacks a sense of urgency? Jarman and
Herring, or whoever is in charge, are not getting the job done. CL
cant call stored procedures and receive back results, much of the OS
is not threadsafe which prevents Java from being used in place of RPG,
RPG SQL does not support receiving result sets back from stored
procedures. Today, Intel is advertising core2 quad microprocessors on
the front page of the WSJ.  IBM has arguably the best hardware
engineers in the business, yet the system i execs insist on selling
systems that are throttled down to a fraction of their power.
