One last comment on this issue in this forum, I promise. I'd just like your input and then see what Mr. Gibbs has to say. The typical response when a thread goes awry is to say it should go to CPF0000 or NONTECH. But in truth, this conversation in particular was about as TECH as it gets - comparing two platforms. And while I know those discussions can get a little cantankerous, as Aaron and I proved, I think we also proved that they can bring up some good topics and even some possible action items. They're not just bitbucket discussions. So rather than a MIDRANGE-NONTECH topic, how about a NONMIDRANGE-TECH list? I know that sounds like it might be a little offkilter for this particular server, but as long as its populated by midrange folks and the discussions have some peripheral connection to the platform (for example, I hope we're still talking about at least accessing iSeries data if not iSeries business logic, Aaron?), I think it's the next area where we need to evolve. The JDBC vs. native I/O issue is a litte more iSeries-centric, so may or may not fit there. The discussion of Linux vs. Windows desktops and the corresponding productivity software definitely would fit there. Discussion of handhelds, portables, phone connectivity and so on could probably fit there, including comparisons of phone services and plans. Discussions of odd bits of network hardware and how to talk to it (barcode scanners, electronic scales, credit card machines) you name it, it could go there. All of these things are related to our jobs as application assemblers. (Yes, I consider myself an application assembler on certain days as well <grin>) I'd be interested in your thoughts and if there's any interest at all I'll take it to a wider group.
