Re: AS/400 installations in the Washington DC area?

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

perhaps if they would come to the DC Users Group (www.wash-midrange.com)
meetings on a prn basis, perhaps even attend the JAM they might find that
contrary to IBM marketing, there REALLY ARE 400's in use by REAL
companies...:)  ...and a few of them haven't dumped the 400 and gone to
NT...as much as IBM markets NT...:)

Also, we had a rather decent, but sparseley attended (can you say snow?)
IBM Roadshow e-commerce one-day'er yesterday at the Sheraton Tysons...had
some decent stuff there...

John, visitors from NJ are always welcome also...:)  Thursday evenings
meeting is by IBM's Laura Knapp and Tom Hadley on Virtual Pvt Networks in
case you're in town...:)

Don in DC
Secretary and Past President WAM...
