RE: Modernising the AS/400 WAS: external *PRTF

That's scary.  Wouldn't it have been more productive for them to have used
that time to format their status reports more elaborately? <g>

I'm an employee, not a consultant or contractor, and I try to devote as much
time at work as I can get away with to improving my technical skills.  I'm
willing to compromise to meet deadlines <g>, but I think that in the long
run both my employer and I benefit.  If I have to do it covertly, I will.
This is like a game where the rules change completely every three years or
so.  (e.g. basketball)  If you aren't allowed to try to keep up, you and
your employer lose.
