As I mentioned above, we are doing our part. IBM's marketing is
not.

how is it a marketing problem when so many IBM i shops have moved off
the system? Companies that use the system already know what it can
do. More marketing will not tell them anything they dont know. The
problem is software technology. IBM is very poorly managed on this
front. PHP works different than Java, which is different from RPG,
SQL procedures, CL, COBOL and C. ( but what do I know. This is the
same for Linux, where the many programming languages used there dont
work interchangeably either. It is only in .NET where I see an
emphasis on languages working well together. )
