Re: Midrange Computing is liquidating.

Well, I'm not sure it is all doom and gloom, but I know it isn't a
_positive_ sign.

I think it mostly says that the market for AS/400 specific technologies is
getting smaller. Which would mean, I suppose, that if the iSeries is to
survive it needs to compete in more popular marketplaces.

But what it really says to me is that the market is much further along that
road than I thought. I am very sorry to hear that! It caught me off guard, I
guess I thought I'd have heard more speculation about such an event before
it happened.

If you believe that the best technology wins the
marketplace, you haven't been paying attention.
