Re: IBM OS/4i???

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just think...by gutting the machine of reliable
coummuications and replacing it with the much more
updated methods(ethernet/TCP/IP) we will all have jobs
well into social security.

I want to go on the record as thanking IBM and the
marketing staff that came up with all those fabulous
ideas. This latest idea ought to be good for several
more years of support issues.

The new line to be used at customer sites will somthing
like this:

Customer: "Well damn... it used to work really well,
          what happened ????"

Us: Uhhh, IBM decided that method was old and needed a
    "fresh look" to appear "modern", so they replaced it
    with this new method. I should have it working pretty
    good in a month or so. I hope your customers don't
    really need to use those ATM's.

    I bet that shiny new OS/4i will fix these problems.

    "May I order you a copy ?"






PS:

Just kidding for all the up tight crowd....
