John, Bingo... THAT'S what I was trying to say... Where I think the iNation can pay for itself: Help IBM determine, ***early on in the cycle***, if a product needs a few minor tweeks (ex: putting TCP into the TIMI, for performance) or whether it's just another pipe-dream... I think the iNation (ie folks on this list, and others like them) could have EASILY predicted SAA wasn't gonna fly, that C++ ain't THE ticket (unless you're going to Redmond), and that if IBM gets past a certain point (Firewall) then bailing out without a good migration plan is just gonna give them a black eye. JMHO... But I think the iNation could prevent IBM from some serious disasters, AND show where near-disasters can rise out of the ashes (with a tweek here and there) AND thus save IBM some money... Still trying to figure out: who loses in this proposition...?!? Is it gonna be fool-proof...?!? Better question is: are better products gonna be produced, with less R&D investment by IBM? jt | -----Original Message----- | From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com | [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of jpcarr@tredegar.com | Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 4:16 PM | To: midrange-l@midrange.com | Subject: Re: SOM/DSOM
