Re: New names

[Ken.Slaugh@xxxxxxxxxx]

I do live in these 'Exciting Times'. I've been creating Internet based
interfaces for years now. The AS/400 is always involved in these solutions.
I can't imagine not permanently storing information on the AS/400.

I change my mind... The greatest application running on the AS/400? The
answer would have to be OS/400. What other operating system is as powerful
and reliable?

It is a sad state of affairs when greatness has come to mean just doing
what you are supposed to do. If it just runs, it's great. Of course, in
ordinary
human experience we are all just waiting for Godot. Not too much
excitement is need nor wanted, c.f. that old Chinese curse: "may you live
in
exciting times".
