Re: IBM i Access for Web vs IBM Navigator for i

["Raul A. Jager W." <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The web interface is a great improvement. I think IBM should put all the 
team to improve it, leaving the old navegator alone.  I'm sure userd 
will go to the web without need to be forced, like happened between the 
green screen and the graphical but prone to problems and hard to support 
navegator.

There are already things popping up in the web console that are not supported in any other way.  A customer of mine recently pointed out a new option in the Advanced Job Scheduler that only exists in the web console version.

To save further posts from those who know me well, I'll admit that the fantasy here is me fixing a system problem, not visiting Paris.
