I remember the IBM AS/400 guy (but a senior moment prevents recalling his
name, I think it started with an "L") who use to attend our sessions.  The
last time I remember seeing him was at a SigSoftvend meeting when someone
took a cheap shot at IBM, he interrupted and took the person to task, and
the audience gave him an enthusiastic ovation.

I guess IBM learned what made the MPE supporters the most dedicated in the
industry and used that to fine tune their own programs.  Ihope the HP folks
enjoyed Minnesota as much as he enjoyed California.
