Re: Food for Thought

Absolutely true.

Now, move forward into the 21st century. We have IBM i on Power Systems. If
the people using it would tell your bright minds about it, then they would
want one (or 100) of their own.

But they don't want an AS/400.

Well...that wasn't the case a few iterations ago when it *was* an AS/400.

Because the current users of the IBM i are telling them that it is an
AS/400.

And, everyone knows... an AS/400 is old.

We all know the i is the bestest system in the world. But something I
puzzle about...why are all those folks with advanced computer science
degrees, or people with MBAs, and people with years of experience
picking Windows/Linux? Are they stupid? Are they just caught up in the
hype? Is this declining group of data processors (us) smarter than the
rest? While I like to think I'm a bright boy, I also realize there are
a bunch of other folks out there that know more about computers,
capabilities, and productivity than I'll ever know. Just curious...
