An interesting aside about the "Alliance Partners":   One of them is a
small regional consultant who dissolved their iSeries practice when they
imploded in 2001.  They went from 1200 employees down to about 200 in two
years and the first to go were all the RPG'ers (me included!).  

Their slant on this Alliance is probably their strong JD
Edwards/Peoplesoft/Oracle and Microsoft practices.  I can't wait to see JDE
run on a WinTel platform :-)  (LOL)
