JOHN !!

It's NOT just you - maybe just you and me <BG>...

I read it last night and was thinking the same thing - WHAT a load of MS #@&% 
!!!

I was, I guess "surprised", to see that in this publication. The "author" just
let MS "spew" whatever they wanted, challenging NOTHING, etc. The REAL rub was
the MS rubbish about scalability. Give me a BREAK - there is NO WAY MS can
challenge the AS/400 at this point. Ditto for reliability, etc. and cost of
ownership, etc. is questionable !!!

VERY disapointing in my opinion.

To everyone who hasn't read this article, please track it down and tell John and
I that we aren't alone :-) !!!!
