I hear you.  Midrange Computing is hitting me up trying to get me to
subscribe.  Claiming they've went back to more technical, but what do I see
but articles like:
"The Public Cost of Private Profit" - tying IBM to the Holocaust
"How to Run an Effective Meeting"
"Full Circle" - extolling you to conserve energy in the office.

This ain't why I would buy this magazine.  Some would argue that people
should hear this.  I argue, 'Do they want to pay to hear it?'  For example,
some years ago I served on the board of a local users group.  At that time
we were transitioning from a mix of technical and managerial topics to
strictly technical topics.  Why?  Because attendance dropped sharply off at
meetings which were not technical.  As much as I liked some of the other
speakers, their topics, and felt that people needed to hear them, I could
read the writing on the wall.

Brad,

(I moved over to the midrange-l list, and changed the subject from
Subprocedures to Books, Journals, and Magazines)

Which group puts out the Experts Journal?  I have to buy these resources
myself, and since it's my money, I'm very fickle.  I used to get a lot out
of the two main magazines but over the last couple years that has not been
the case.  I doubt I'll renew the mag subscriptions this year but maybe
something like the Experts Journal would be good.

A great benefit that the java and Microsoft world has over us is the
plethora of books available at bookstores - where you can peruse before you
buy.  I have returned books to Amazon.com before but it's an additional
hassle that I don't want to go through.  Plus, since I would have read it,
I
feel guilty unless the book did not live up to the marketing.

Phil

I just got done with a four part series on ILE in iSeries Experts Journal.
It explains these things much clearer than my e-RPG does.

I'm glad you found my eRPG book a good learning tool for subprocedures!
