User "fuzzybuzzardo" could use your help. Here is his recent post in our developer discussion forum: "I am currently trying to write some macro's to automate adding userID's to CICS systems. My problem is that when a user is already on a system, it throws the macro out of step and it goes haywire! I am using for loops and senkey statements to do it. Is there a way to test for the result of a CICS transaction and then take appropriate action?

The perfume people at Coty have made an interesting stink -- a fragrance that reeks of computers! Take that Tommy! It's called "001Coty." Catch a whiff of this stuff, and you'll think you just walked into CompUSA. The man behind the mist says he captured the smells of static electricity and a newly-opened box of computer hardware and mixed them with marigold, praline, licorice, almond and magnolia to get the scent. If you're one of the lucky ones who has a chance to buy it (only 5,000 bottles will be made -- all sold over the Internet), be careful where you wear it. This high-tech toilet water might turn on a sultry server. Or worse, an amorous Aibo!
