LOL! Remember that Dilbert episode where they gave the pointy haired
boss his new laptop, and when he asked how to reboot it they told him to
hold it above his head and shake it?  LOL

What I got out of Brad's book was hope that people will regain their
rational footing.  RPG works and works well, Brad has gone to great
lengths to prove that RPG is a valid e-solution.  Just ask him to show
ya some of the sites he has up and running which make extensive use of
RPG/CGI.  Why toss the programmers out with the bath water?  You have 50
programmers who know RPG a consultant is gonna tell ya; "you need to
force them to learn Java only then will your e-business take off and
make you a hero!" but your common sense tells ya; "hey, I could use RPG
and then the development time would be shorter because I wouldn't need
to retrain my folks. plus I know it would be a solid application because
my staff have been developing really stable apps in RPG for years."  

So what do ya do? Well you take the consultants path because you are an
IT manager and of diminished capacity.
