IBM Secret (Was Copy to New AS400 via TCP)

The last line here raises an interesting point.  The problem of staffing is
_not_ an AS/400 issue anymore - it is an industry wide problem.  IT is not sexy
right now, so we need to expand our recruitment efforts.



It saddens me that a platform that was founded on the notion of training
Accountants and others in how to program (Al does that ring a bell ?) is now
trailing other areas in the industry in terms of dealing with staff shortages by
recruiting and training their own people.
