Oh please.. enough with the "they're killing the iSeries"
drama act, Jon...  It reminds of just a couple years ago
where it was heard often "if you don't learn Java you will
flip burgers".

I understand you're trying to make a point.  I understand
that shops that implement new techniques normally are glad
they did.  I also understand and agree with why the changes
should be made.  But thinking that the majority are
conciously choosing not to increase their skill level is
pushing it.
