RE: System i Revenue Up

The machine is not designed to make programmers happy. It's designed to make
business owners happy. Programming elegance is pretty low on the list of
priorities for a guy who sells tractor parts. He just wants the thing to
work, all day, every day.

Steve,
Is it you job to come around here and disseminate FUD? If that's how
you feel about the i5, why waste your time on this listserv (especially
the
effort of posting to it). I have to assume that if you make the effort,
there must be some motive behind it...


you have to protest when IBM is cutting the system's throat thru
underinvestment. For the programmer, i5/OS is a clunky OS. It can easily be
improved, IBM has the money to make the OS better, and revenue would likely
increase. I dont think IBM execs are aware of the shortcomings of the
system. as well as, apparantly, the experts on this list.
