RE: Alternate Platform for RPG

Wow, good detective work, Joe!

I dunno, though, I think his motivation *is* advertising and not
research.  I think he already knows the market, although it seems to me
he doesn't know the "profile" of the subscribers of this list.

Frankly, in my experience, the conversion of anything (with complexity
and volume) to Oracle is a nightmare waiting to happen.  BT,DT.  Plus,
the consensus I've gathered is that iSeries is the most stable platform
around.  It doesn't make much sense to move mission-critical apps off
the iSeries and onto Win-anything.

Just my .02.
