Re: List Of Obsolete Skills

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trevor, I get it.  Its the WHOLE REST OF THE WORLD that not only doesn't 
get it, they don't even want to get it. 

As you can see from the article, the writer knew the names, etc, and he 
couldn't get it right.  I've seen you get confused about it too, but 
thats ok; so does everyone else. 

The fact is IBM blundered.  Coca Cola blundered, too, but Coca Cola had 
the sense to fix their blunder.  

It would serve our community better Trevor, and be a whole lot easier 
for you, if you devoted these same energies to getting IBM to fix their 
blunder.  Its fixable, its easy to fix, and it solves a lot of real 
problems.

You can rename a rose all you want, but the World is still going to call 
it a rose.  

Maybe, for a starter, we could make "AS/400" stickers and just glue them 
on our midrange boxes.  Perhaps you could advertise them on your 
website?  Would COMMON sell them for us?
