Re: HP Stimulus Package

Don't call it "our" system.

It's obvious by your posts over the years that it is NOT "your" system.

You have never done anything but run it down in everything you have ever
said about it. Most of you complaints are about such obscure issues that
they would probably never be noticed by the vast majority of
users/developers!

Fine Steve, you keep deluding yourself with all of your anti-IBM crap.

the flip side of which is to pledge allegiance to an IBM that is
ruining this system of ours by not investing in the operating system,
languages and run time.

The rest of us in the real world will just keep our business running

and

competitive with our "old, outdated" iSeries.

The HP ad is not inaccurate. RPG/5250 apps have to be rewritten to be
integrated into the mainstream of current day computing. Technically
however, you could add modern features to RPG. The 5250 data stream
and DDS could be enhanced with the ability to embed and render HTML.
All it takes is an investment in IBM i software technologies that HP
is telling you IBM is not willing to do.
