Dude, surely you are being sarcastic?
I am not in the UK, but I like to hear people are looking for informix. I recently helped a friend fill a local position posted on the IIUG job board....

Are there any big customer wins for Informix?

Still haven't heard anything! Are there any new customers worth
mentioning?

By the way I heard the buzz on the floor at the Oracle conference
this week was that most of the people attending were from India.
Probably will be more beneficial next conference to just host it
in India to help all those companies doing the outsourcing save
even more money by not having it in one of the most expensive
towns on the planet, San Francisco.

We've sold plenty of new licences/trade-ups/Gold Bundles to existing
customers this year, but only one absolutely brand-new-to-Informix customer.

This is a completely incorrect statement. Exactly 0.41% of the attendees
at OW in San Francisco cited India as the country they are from. There
are more people attending from Mexico and Japan than from India. India
HAS just recently had their own OW conference, as has Shanghai, Sao
Paulo, London, Amsterdam and Melbourne.

The statement is not completely incorrect. The information may
be incorrect, or contain statements that are not verifiable, but
the statement parses correctly. It was communicated correctly, but may
contain incorrect information.

Anyway if a lot of the attendees are former Indians and now US
citizens they may not claim they are from India and instead claim
they are from the US.

Doesn't really matter anyway, the tech market seems to be coming back
to life here in the USA. Looks like all those corporate weasels that
decided on outsourcing found out it isn't as great an idea as they
thought it would be--unless you are "vanting do dalk do teg supporrrd".

Firstly, multiple bitch slaps to you for being such a racist Sea Hunt.
Shame on you.

Secondly, this outsourcing does, I hope, seem to be dying the natural
death of all the other fashions that sweep the IT managment world, pushed
along by technologically challenged managerial imbiciles who struggle to
change their login password.

My small experiences with customers having outsourced IT to other
countries is one of endless delays due to time zone differences,
communication paths as slow as e-mails and having to rely on development
and test hardware that is 10,000 miles away and often difficult to access
for a quick turnaround of ideas and testing.

These management buffoons never seem to see the costs that contradict the
next great wave of ultra-modern management policies and infrastructure.
Anyone for Client/Server? Oh sorry, that's so early Nineties... What's the

I think it may be autonomic computing.
