Re: InfoWorld's reponse - 64bits

Chuck,

I wouldn't fault Mr. Pendery, whenever you tell someone they are wrong it is 
likely they will become defensive.  I would suggest asking them to cover the 
AS/400, rather than asking them why they didn't cover the AS/400.

I have written to Byte to ask them to compare the available JVMs including the 
AS/400's.  They seem more likely to be swayed by the promise of better 
technology than any of the Ziff David publications.  Just recently they covered 
the S390 in a reliability issue.  To bad they didn't receive a few dozen 
letters before the article was written touting the reliability of the AS/400.  
After the fact letters are likely to just become editorial items.

Unless someone REALLY flamed Mr. David Pendery of Info World, his "pissy" and
defensive tone REALLY undermines any credibility he might have had with me as a
JOURNALIST, which I am sure is what he wants to be considered.
