Come on guys, I don't want to give any credit to that original e-mail! It is
far too easy to recover something from 3 years ago and say it is "news"!
That's not only crap, it reflects an unsain attitude and thinking (which of
course, as we are on cdi...).

Fellows, IBM has proven to deliver continuing support and RESEARCH &
DEVELOPMENT budget to IDS and all Informix products.

Do I fully agree with all things done by IBM? Certainly not, but they do not
let go IDS and Informix: (from the IIUG standpoint) we have cuctomers,
users, partners that tell us they see good things being done in that
directions! You even have ADVERTISING on Informix (And they thank IIUG for
doing that)! So come on, upgrade your mind! Turn from a SE brain to an IDS
v10 Multithreaded brain and stop looking at 3 year old news...

Couldn't resist... Apologies to the ones I annoyed...
