RE: Random thoughts from COMMON

[Neil Palmer <NeilP@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well - it wasn't exactly hidden - but it's true there were no longer 
dumb terminals for Requirements entry in the Registration area (mainly 
because the Registration area in the convention centre was torn down 
after Tuesday and Registration moved to an area outside HQ in the 
Hilton for any one day attendees).
You could enter Requirements from the ThinkPad's in the COMMON 
Bookstore (same as in New Orleans) that have Web Browsers and a 5250 
connection to the on-site COMMON AS/400.  This was mentioned every day 
in Green Streak.

Yes, the whole requirements system is under review.  A white paper was 
presented to the Board, and we are to produce an implementation plan 
for a new (probably Domino based) system to be presented to the Board 
at the Spring/99 San Francisco conference.

As for a case-insensitive scan, sorry Dean, the 400 is a very sensitive 
system and wouldn't feel right about ignoring your case !   :-)

Don,

In a message dated 98-10-10 15:02:21 EDT, you write:

Well, if they hid the requirements area like they did at NOLA, I can
understand it.  Besides, when do I get my case-insensitive scan in 
DSPSPLF
;-)?

Cheers!
