David HI Any chance you can design a simple poll, here or on Midrange.com, to determine how many people agree, that a PC version of OS/400 is important, or not, and how many would actually buy the OS for thier own use?

Don't >quote me but we could break the monopoly of Microsoft on OS. Who are you kidding? Green screen OS400 vs. Fancy Smancy 64000 color Window$? A company that doesn't market it's system vs. a company that markets their systems to heck and back? It's a proven fact that technical excellence & stability is not what corporate america wants ... they want "gee-wiz, 'ohh look at the pretty colors', it's good because the IT press says it is" systems. Yes, I know I'm being cynical ... but this is just the reality as I see it. btw: don't get me wrong ... iSeries & OS400 are still my first picks for an OS to run my business (if I ran a business). *I* know technical excellence when I see it (mostly), don't want my core business to be wasting cycles updating a GUI, and take everything the IT press says with a grain of salt. david -- | Internet: david@midrange.com | WWW: http://david.fallingrock.net | AIM: MidrangeMan | | If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; | if you can't walk, crawl. | -mlk _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
