Re: AS/400/Olden days

Al Hi
        I remember flipping the Green processing button, with the Red
procesor light!....I think the ce is still looking for me..lol
        Weird, we take the occasional break, to move off subject, and now 
there's a move affoot to start a new mailing list to stay on subject.
        I think a lot of our members need some shark oil.
        Remember once management passing by the coffee machine in a dept.
I worked in, and some wise ass decided we in systems were spending
altogether too much productive time, mulling around the machine.
        They took away the coffee machine.
        In the next two to three months the productivity in systems fell thru
the floor boards....i.e. went way down.
        They hadn't realized that, the coffee machine, was a way to release
tensions, unwind, and served as an ideas exchange point. 
        They subsequently put the coffee machine back in place.
        Same analogy....but they probably don't even know it.
