Re: List activity...

[Richard W Rick Foster <rwfoster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The question "Where are all the RPG AS/400 jobs?" has almost become
rhetorical.  The Nashville, Tn area, once a "hotbed" for AS/400 consultants,
has very little to offer. Oh, you can find a contract-to-hire periodically;
but, not much else is available.  Many RPGers are learning web-page design,
but with many of the dot-com companies in retreat, even this seems overdone.
The AS400 is such a great platform; yet, the "networks" are getting all the
resources.
