RE: IDS License Revenue
Hey Tool, that's pretty funny as an attitude! Okay, what proofs do you want? A complete breakdown of figures by brand? by product? by revenue stream, channels? by country? No I have a better idea, let's ask IBM to publish every bill where Informix is mentioned on it and we will phone to every recipient of the bill to be sure they really got it and paid it... As Guy said, go over it. It's a statement made by people you can trust, Informix is growing significantly, I see more interests worldwide in it. Now, I am a poor peasant stuck in Eastern France... Business Partners are usually quite happy and they stop moaning around (subliminal message sent to...). Peace - no flame war is necessary. jgp > -----Original Message----- > From: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:informix-list- > bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Tool > Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 07:32 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: Re: IDS License Revenue > > Get over what? > > Informix has a history of whispers and bullshit, and if you remember, > exactly why Informix has had trouble in the past. > > You made the claim, you quoted, yet, you have no proof!
