Re: Costco still on IBM i?

I feel like we're both old enough to have seen the war between OS2 and
Windows. Watching the same movie today and having to make ends meet working
on this platform gives me some concerns.

Best regards

and think having budgets means you can't do such an immense overhaul of all
that old code. The company I work did a couple of years of having people
modernize old code, but only when an assignment brought a program across
your screen.

Another programmer said he thought they should just assign a few to

modernize the code. I agree with that. Sure it's lots of code but they went
with a third party implementation. It didn't cover everything so they got a
discount to help the vendor add the missing funcionality. Projected time to
finish was 10 years. (They started out saying 2 years hahahaha--been there
done that)..

Sometimes I wonder how many machines are still on "i". This company's

new software is not on the "i".

It's a big company, but they're not going to renew the RDi license. IBM

is pricing itself out. Best thing they did was adapting open source.

I will be glad when patents and copyright gets put to death.
