RE: Is Ops Navigator slow for others too?

["Salter, James" <JSalter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If they don't mind everyone having to reboot every 5 minutes just to do
AS/400 work through Ops Nav, then they should not have any problems. 

Another example of them trying to Windowize their systems to get new people
interested in the AS/400.  

Frankly, I am glad that I don't have to "reboot" my AS/400 3 times a day.

Well I have some bad news for you if you don't like Ops Nav.
I heard rumors when I was in Rochester a month ago, They said that by V5R1
every thing will be in Ops navigator and from then on out no updates would
be done to green screens.
