OK, keep in mind that I am new to IBM/AS400/iSeries/iNation...but didn't IBM
come up with the concept of iNation?  This subject wouldn't be an ongoing
thread otherwise would it?  Has iNation been established long enough to
legitimately complain like this?  What would the world be like if iNation
didn't exist? 

Again, I know I could live to regret these questions, but being so naive and
impressionable  I just had to ask.

Thank you,

I am probably out of line here, but being in my "late youth" has made me a
bit skeptical.

Waiting for IBM to organise iNation seems terribly like waiting for my
employer to send me off to Java school, Database school, Security school,
Computer science school, give me a raise AND my choice of brand new
development projects.

Why not stand up for ourselves and tell IBM what we want?  And tell the
world too, while we're at it?

Waiting for IBM (or my employer!) just hasn't worked that well in the past.
Maybe my recent reading of Hamlet has got to me, but in order to continue to
exist, "to BE", I feel we should "take arms against a sea of troubles, and
by opposing; end them."
