Brad,

I'm kinda mixed on this...Yeah, you're gonna need JAVA/NT for net apps,
but I also think they're worried that nobody wants to teach/learn RPG and
they're not sure who the heck's gonna be programming these boxes once
folks like Neil and I start burning out blenders on Aruba...:)  ...no
programmers, no software, no sales...capice?

Frankly, I'm (more than just a little annoyed) at our industry for
bringing out a new language every 30 months and TOTALLY ignoring the
concept of enhancing the existing languages/compilers...

Don in DC metro...
