So, what we have here is Informix being treated the same as Websphere, DB2, whatever, and you still find a way to fucking moan about it. So what you're saying is, it's not enough for Informix to be treated the same as everything else IBM sells, you want it to be treated differently. But when it's treated differently, then you bitch about that, saying that IBM doesn't respect Informix enough to treat it the same as DB2. And this coming from someone who freely admits that he has no skin in the Informix game any more. You're just another bitter failure who couldn't cut it in the Informix marketplace. Really, why should anyone listen to you? -- Cheers, Obnoxio The Clown http://obotheclown.blogspot.com I will now proceed to pleasure myself with this fish. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean.
