  • Four Hundred Monitor, November 14

    November 14, 2018 Jenny Thomas

    I learned a valuable lesson this week: never stick your hand in the middle of a dog fight. Now, that may seem like common sense, but sometimes in that moment of panic when you’re trying to figure out what to do, you do something dumb. But it got me thinking about the efforts of our community who look to help each other out whether it be through a free webinar, a virtual training, or a product so our readers will know exactly what to do – or not to do — if disaster strikes. IT Jungle also plays a vital role as a disseminator and collector of information in our IBM i world. To see what’s happened in in our special ecosystem this week, read on:
