YEAH!  What ever happened to those prolific ads back in 1988?  Of course, the
cast of M*A*S*H would be irrelevant today, but at least I SAW SOMETHING on
the /400 from time to time...

Well, you all know that THIS is MY big gripe.  Why, in 1997 (almost '98) are
we still dealing with the 20-year-old 5250 data stream for both terminals and

5250 remains the "norm"...
