The iDeal iSeries, Part 4
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Making comparisons on technology, pricing, and performance across any two architectures is always a tough piece of work. And there is a long line of people who are quick to point out all the inadequacies of any approach to doing so. But the fact remains that IT managers need to make such comparisons.

by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It may not seem like it some days, but there are worse jobs than being a member of an IT organization--at least as far as salaries and salary increases are concerned. Nate Viall & Associates is putting the finishing touches on its third-quarter salary survey for OS/400 managers and programmers, and like other surveys in recent quarters, salary increases are shrinking.

Malcolm Haines Returns to IBM
by Alex Woodie
Malcolm Haines, the imaginative marketer whose colorful and off-beat advertising campaigns won him respect from a hard-to-please AS/400 installed base during a 25-year career promoting products from Rochester, returned to IBM last week after a 15 month absence.
