  • Four Hundred Monitor, June 1

    June 1, 2022 Jenny Thomas

    Our coverage from POWERUp 22 continues this week as we suddenly find ourselves in June and looking forward to the second half of the year. So far, so good, as the saying goes, in terms of getting back to normal in the world of the IBM i.
