Re: More anti-midrange propaganda

[<shannonjano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

this is a an excellent example of what happens when people who don't know
what the heck they are talking about get together and make policy decisions
based on buzz-words and slogans, rather than facts and sound business
practices.  And of course, every one of these CIO's will conveniently have
another job to jump to and a ready excuse to offer when the new 'non-legacy'
system never gets off the ground.
