RE: Just whining about Windows, Was: Is Ops Navigator slow for others too?

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am curious.  Which version of Windows are you running?  3.1, 95, 98, NT, 
2000?  
I am running NT.  I reboot every Friday when I leave.  (Gotta leave the 
computer 
running so ADSM backups can run.)  Also, on occasion Word, or Notes R504 will 
die.  
(Oh, and Notes knows the last death was abnormal and insists you reboot the 
PC.)  
But not several times a day.

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.
