Re: Stupid AS/400 web site tricks

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhui@xxxxxxx>]

Roger,

  I, like you, don't like the IBM web sites for the most part.  I didn't try
searching from techstudio but agree that when I have, half of the links are
broken.

  I didn't think that having this one search work would cure your 'fear' of
searching these sites.  Frankly this is about the first time I have ever found
what I wanted in one search there.
