RE: MI BOF and other ramblings...

Don't order the latest and greatest MI ref from IBM.  I got the V4R2 version
from IBM for ~ $45.

I'd be interested too.  I sure as heck ain't gonna pay IBM $200 for an MI
reference.

Greetings..

We had a really nice BOF...  about 7 or 8 of us showed up...Sears
apologied for having a schedule confict as he'ld've like to have been
there as well.   But, it was good to get things going.  

I'ld like to continue the BOF concept into Balti...perhaps have a couple
of BOF sessions and perhaps a intro to MI and a intermediate MI type class
with discussion...or we could even get it on the full sched for a class if
there's enough interest...  Comments?

I do think there's need for a decent MI Text to teach this in a orderly
method...and for some it would be a orderly review and fill in the
blanks more perhaps than a intro text...  Comments?  I'm not sure there's
enough sell copy capability to interest the major publishers, but perhaps
someone could sell one as a .pdf?  I'ld be interested...

Comments and ideas?

Don
