Re: IBM not investing in i5/OS was: iSociety

Unfortunately we still are but minimal..............and it's a MAJOR part of
the reason our mgmt thinks the System i is OLD, look your web stuff
(including from the vendor) is written in a language that even IBM stopped
supporting in 2004 (IIRC), then when they ask somebody to look at it, then
that makes it even worse...

For now I am going to "try" EGL and start learning .NET............in my
spare time keeping the users happy

EGL sounds like a great tool for web development but then so did net.datawhen it first came out. While
net.data still works I don't know of anyone doing anything new in that
tool. How long do we give EGL to see if it will survive before committing
production applications that may be around for 10-15 years?
