Good question. You should have directed your question to Bruce Weed
during the Chat w/ the Lab on Wednesday. I asked him when they were
going to take the DB2 out of their IOD magazine and replace it with,
"IBM Information Management". He said they "working on it" and to look
to the future for a new face. Stuart Litel then responded with: "I
asked them about an "Informix" magazine, but they didn't like that
idea".
