1) IBM hasn't been real encouraging on the RPG front with all its roadmaps
and what not - you can scare people into wanting platform independence.

2) How many times has IBM stated that platform independence is the way to
go? - A LOT. After awhile people start believing it even though it isn't
really what they need. It's simply leading the witness.

Platform independence for iSeries vendors is understandable as they want to
sell software to the masses, but again, platform independence for iSeries
home grown software is just plain silly - we are already on our platform of
choice, we just need IBM to follow us in our pursuit of their box.

IBM, how long will it take you to REALLY hear our needs and wants?
Java/Net.Data/VisualAgeRPG/EGL are not what we have asked for!


I agree with Aaron in an 200%, only you forgot when IBM tell us that all
will be made using smalltalk.
I agree with what you've said and will pursue this with IBM in Spain.
