RE: IBM - Get with it.

[mcrump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

And the good news she not a mindless AS/400 advocate like me <bg>.  She calls
them as she see's them.....she's one of the few out there will give the AS/400 a
fair shake.  If it's good she says so, if it'n not she says so.  Who would ever
think that someone working for one of these magazines would actually know what
an AS/400 is??????

I know you're referring to a large west coast software company that was in
on the ground floor of OS/2, but Maggie Biggs, who heads InfoWorld's testing
group, is the most vocal AS/400 advocate in the general trade press.
Besides favorable reviews of the AS/400, she also mentions it as a superior
alternative when reviewing NT and UNIX solutions.

I'm with you and John on campaigning, 100%.  We just need a few more people
to do it too.
