RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

From: Pat Barber

My complaint is with you guys accepting broken as being
"normal".... Forget the style of programming.

Um... "us guys" are constantly pushing IBM to fix and extend the product.
The WDSCI-L list is one of the most interactive and helpful lists in the IT
industry -- just try to get the same level of response for a "feature" in
Excel or Word.

As to accepting broken software, every time you boot Windows you are
contributing to the single worst software product ever foisted upon the
world computer community.  Disclaimer: I use it too, simply because I have
to.  But I know of many people who have taken the high road that you are
proclaiming and use nothing but Open Source software on their desktops.

So, if you're going to not use WDSC, then you should be consistent and dump
the whole Wintel monster.
