Glenn, Without any reference to any prior messages, my comment is that, "The future's so bright, together we're brilliant.". Yes, I do have a better than average view of the future of OS/400, and yes I'm 50. But I'm planning on working on this platform until I die (I had three out of 4 grandparents die over age 90 [both grandfathers worked over 90]), or until about 20 minutes after my funeral. Instructions left indicate that my eulogy should be about the work management. System Values will live longer than me!
