AS400 Kinda figured that yer tastes would run to the demented dimensions of RPG, WBT ... and little black boxes which sit in the corner replacing roomfuls of Snazzy Toasters. Got yer new pocket protector? In case management wants to sharpen up their medullas, so's to appreciate the magnificence of your manipulations - [link\|http://www.as400online.com/as400faqs.htm#A\|AS400 fer Dummies - and to utterly squash MCSEIEIOs] (Me.. I thought - why not start at the top? Fergit BASIC n' Visual Smalltalk: learn AS machine language . But then.. I thought, why not become a Certified Vincent Rehabilitation Expert. Instead.) :-\ufffd

Imric's Tips for Living Paranoia Is a Survival Trait Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised... Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Frantic PHB leads the police into the server room to show them that all the servers have been stolen. PFY walks through eating lunch and says, "No, I moved everything to that. [points to a single rack against the back wall] Should save us a bunch of money. I sent an email." [Voice-over] "IBM e-series running Linux. Blah blah slogan blah." Man I love that commercial. We have to fight the terrorists as if there were no rules and preserve our open society as if there were no terrorists. -- [link\|http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/05/opinion/BIO-FRIEDMAN.html\|Thomas Friedman]
