Again your arrogance and lack of understanding of the issues is showing. Where is Bob Picciano in the press? Where is he in advertising for Informix? NOWHERE. > Cheers > Serge > > PS: Check my footer. I have changed roles ages ago. I didn't get the memo--not that it matters. But whatever role you have now you still don't know much if anything about the Informix product line or the Informix market. If you did you wouldn't make such stupid comments about it. Many of us in the Informix market have gone on to understanding the DB2 market, and understanding the difference in products enough to know that DB2 is getting marketing and advertising, while Informix isn't getting shit--which would indicate that Informix is slated for extinction. Unless the Informix marketing department ( what a joke ) starts pooping diamonds instead of gravel it ain't gonna matter much anymore what anybody does for the product in the near future, it'll be a worthless product and a complete waste of time for everyone.
