Re: Toronto Informix User Group: Wednesday, November 12
Not a technical thread. It began as an announcement of the Ontario Canada Informix User Group's meeting at the IBM Markham lab (12 Nov 2003), covering IDS 9.40 features, the product roadmap, DB2 Information Integrator, Server Studio, ISA and Office Connect. The only follow-ups were jokes about the wording — how a revived group can hold an "inaugural" meeting (one wag suggested "rinaugural") — plus banter about pedantry. No technical problem or resolution is recorded.

Ron, How can you have an inaugural meeting if the group is 'back'?
