RE: So, was this really the biggest announcement for the iSeriessince 1988?

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guys,

I'll *NEVER forget the IBM'er calling me up trying to tell me that v4r5
(or was it V5r1?) was "THE biggest thing since 1988..." to which I got a
little chuckle as I deleted her email without sending it out to the user
group world as she would have liked....

SOmetimes the BS gets abit ahead of the reality....:)
