Re: ADVERTISING SUPPORT FOR AS/400 ANNOUNCEMENT

Thank you for saying what I have spent a year thinking. I am that college
person. I work in systems AS/400 9406, with the exception of a sys.
admin. who was there for only 30 days, everything has been self taught
trial & error along with IBM manuals in hand (very dry reading). College
catalogs push midrange classes but when you follow up they have no
AS/400. My reason for joining this group. IBM direct too expensive & no
personal interaction. Any suggestions of resources that helped you learn
would be GREATLY appreciated and followed up on.
