Hmm... I wonder if those folks who use the "old technology" argument, don't drive a vehicle that uses a piston engine? After all the piston engine has been around for a very long time. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 10:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] We need a news stories library Kevin, You are battling an age-old predjudice against M. It seems M was considered "old technology" (by the un-informed), before it was old ! I think alot of the predjudice goes back to the poorly chosen (IMO) name of MUMPS, for the language. Had it has been named "Laser" or maybe just "M" in the beginning, it might have enjoyed a different trajectory. Certainly the biggest M vendor understands the marketing difficulties with system based on MUMPS. One has to look hard for any references to it in their marketing material. Instead, it is called post-relational, object oriented, and multi-dimensional. All of which is true. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Joseph Dal Molin Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 9:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] We need a news stories library Consider it done Kevin....great idea....especially the part about delegating Nancy to do the work :-) Joseph Kevin Toppenberg wrote: > Someone from my group was grumbling recently that VistA is going to be > a bad option for our group because is it "old technology." > > And then Bhaskar posts regarding a Thai Bank converting to GT.M.
