Re: 1998 Conference

Seth, Didn't mean to dis you, mayhaps I should have used an explicit smiley or two. I get amused at the notion that Microsoft would have any interesting in buying Informix. I'd expect Boeing to try it about as fast. >1) Are you saying that the potential for acquisition of >Informix by Microsoft is something to be paranoid about? >I didn't. I know you didn't. It was inferred. Although (once again) I would be amazed if MS even tried to acquire Informix. If they wanted a UNIX rdbms shop, they would have tried for Sybase a while back. 2) Hey, I got my master's at the UW and lived in Seattle >for two years. One attraction Seattle didn't have when >I left ('83) was decent jobs otherwise I'd be there still. Things change. There are lots of software opportunities here at the moment, although they are a tad bit limited as far as Informix work is concerned. David
