Re: PRESS: Informix in the News

On one hand, Informix will do whatever they can if they know that they will make money. (Kinda like prostitution.) And that's OK. We're all in it for the money. On the other hand, while the apologists for Informix say that SCO is still on the porting list. (For now anyways), and that its not the *size* that counts. [Don't even go there ;-] Informix is not abandoning the smaller market, just the *commodity* database. Yet Informix still has 7.3 UDO on NT, and has plans for a crippled Win 95 version. (Informix PE I think?) This doesn't make sense. Bob is saying one thing, and Informix staffers and others are saying the exact opposite. Would someone from Informix who reads this list, kindly tap Finocchio on the shoulder and ask him to clarify this issue? (Note As I write this the stock price is 7 3/8 [Ask] and sinking) Kinda reminds me of that Push-me Pull-you in Doctor Doolittle. -Mike BTW, while a dog can run around for hours enjoying the pleasure of chasing it's tail, what does a push-me pull-you do for fun? -- #include <std_disclaimer.h> /* Mike Segel (MS385) */ #include <No_Spam.h> #ifdef OFFENDED_BY_CONTENT The author takes no responsibility for this post.
