hmmm - i also forgot to allow for the cross-posting. I'm talking about the steady stream of nay-sayers that are still having panic attacks after the IBM takeover of Informix.

Although I agree that IBM is a major player in the IT Axis of Evil, I also believe that IBM is the bestest thing that could have happened to Informix, apart, perhaps, from Informix itself keeping it's shit together over the last few years instead of being abused by corporate raiders etc.
