Well then I've interpreted your 'statement' rather then your 'opinion' correctly. And it's a sad statement that is the way decisions are made. Then again, I just came from a company that is going from iSeries to SAP on Sun and not a single person thinks it makes an ounce of sense. Handed down from the mountaintop. As to my agreement with Joe, however you figured it out. Yes, I more often then not agree with Joe. | [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Mike Haston ** Data | There must be some reason M$ runs its business on iSeries! | | Are you saying to protect your job you should go with the inferior product | with the snappy sales pitch rather then the product that you've | found to be | untouchable when it comes to your business needs? | | | =========== | | He follows the 95% who are lemmings... His job is on the line, are CFO <snip> No! (and THANKS for raising hand in support of Joe, btw...:-) But I've worked in companies from $10M (USD) to $30B. Worked with and for management and grunts alike. WAS "D.P. Manager/quasi-CIO/janitor" of a company that grew from < $100M to $500M using the systems We put together. What I'm stating, as fact or opinion, is that the more decades You've put into a career and the higher up You go in an organization (ie the less mobility), the HARDER it is to make TOUGH decisions that don't APPEAR OBVIOUSLY correct. And MANY actually MAKING the purchase decisions these days are either dweebs/geeks/propeller-heads (and the difference is?), or non-coders who have not been well-informed. Icbw, of course, so's I guess that makes it opinion...;-D _______________________________________________ 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.
