| A lot of these arguments are coming from the long time
| System/34/36/38 staff that have been fat and happy for
| a couple of decades now.(that was me by the way up to
| about 3+ years ago (I'm still fat & happy though)) If
| the iSeries is going to continue, who will replace
| these people?  Of course you have Java, Websphere and
| many other newer languages & technologies available on
| the iSeries, but we will still have the RPG heart &
| soul applications that will need to be enhanced,
| maintained, and even developed if the language allows
| it.

I agree with the part I snipped, very much.

On this, though, I don't think RPG really IS for EVERYbody, and as you
said/implied, Don.. C, C++, Java and all that can already be done on a 400,
so that's not really an obstacle to getting fresh blood into the 400 arena.
