RE: Why CODE instead of LPEX?

*aarrrghhhh***  "another 128 megs of RAM!!!  *gasping* 
 
A 512 meg chip is now under $50.  What company can afford to install a 128
chip?  It just isn't worth it anymore.
 
 (I was under the understanding that Code/400 is build fron the lpex editor,
and that what is happening now is that IBM is just needing a couple of
releases to get congruence)

I don't think there's a push toward Code, but Lpex isn't 'there' yet. Also,
there are a handful of developers who are using older PCs because they're
perfectly adequate (or were, anyway!) for the work that we do. At a
thousand dollars a pop, it is unrealistic to expect companies to replace PCs
en masse during a slump in the economy. Although, I might weasel another
128 megs of RAM...
