RE: Informix in the press...
Not sure why iiug board members in the states can't do this if they are sincerely interested in marketing/promoting informix. But all they would have to do is pick up a magazine and flip through the pages to find out who to contact.....not rocket science here.... CIO Magazine: Technology contacts Christopher Lindquist, clindquist@cio.com Thomas Wailgum, twailgum@cio.com !!! Other contacts that may be interested in Oracle/Peoplesoft supporting IDS Vers 10 for tools release 8.49 !!! Christopher Koch, ckoch@cio.com Ben Worthen, bworthen@cio.com ComputerWorld Eric Lai (425)367-4359 If I see another IT type magazine laying around I'll let you know. However, all I ask is a regular report on what efforts you or other iiug board members are making/taking with this type of info.
