Re: "IDS 10.0 Cities Tour 2006"
Posted in 2006
Despite the subject line about the IDS 10.0 Cities Tour, this thread contains no technical content at all. It is an off-topic joking exchange between regulars, trading jibes about Australians, New Zealanders, sheep numbers and parentage, ending with a quip about why Informix DBAs are a dying breed. No Informix problem is raised and no resolution is recorded. Readers looking for information on the IDS 10.0 Cities Tour or any database issue can safely skip the full thread.

Ahhh. And there is a problem. There used to be 73,000,000 sheep. Now it only about 45,000,000. So... the good news is that you don't have to like as many sheep as before and the numbers are going down all the time. Baaaa
