We're having a debate over the effectiveness of using DB2 stored procedures vs. CICS for scalability. The DBA's believe that they can out 'deploy' the CICS COBOLers and the CICS folks believe that they can out perform (run-time) the stored procedures. Is there a right answer?

Pretty much everyone works with someone like that. IMs have become the personal phone calls of the computer age, but they're not just time killers anymore. They're working their way up the ladder and becoming an essential part of the workplace. The proof is in the numbers. A new report shows U.S. workers spent 4.9 billion minutes IMing in September 2001. The year before, that figure was a paltry 2.3 billion minutes. AOL is the champ, but MSN and Yahoo are on the rise.
