Prior to that, he worked at TRW automotive products in Washington, Tyne and Wear, and as an iSeries 400 instructor at Sierra Training, also in London. He got his start in programming when he was 17 and working at Unilog, a software house in Paris. There he was trained on S/36 and S/38. He left Unilog after two years but continued working in France, using RPG/400, RPG/IV, SQL (including embedded) and OPNQRYF. Three years later he moved to the United Kingdom, where he currently works and lives. "Wherever I worked, I tried to complement my knowledge of the iSeries," Pascal says. "This enabled me to learn a lot about several subjects, not just programming but also performance and other system administration tasks." Pascal's happy to answer your DB2/400 or DB2 UDB-related questions. >> CLICK HERE TO ASK Pascal a question... http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestion/0,289624,sid3_tax285216,00.html >> CLICK HERE TO READ recent Q&As... http://search400.techtarget.com/ateAnswers/0,289620,sid3_tax285216,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TAKE OUR POLL | Search400 Reader Survey What's the most controversial issue facing the iSeries community? >> Cast your Vote: http://www.search400.com/poll =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= OS/400 DISCUSSION FORUM | Interact with other administrators Are you looking for advice on OS/400 issues?

About 5 million of them are sold every month in China, but they aren't the kinds that appeal to the rest of the world. Big firms like Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia and Siemens have found it tough to make a connection with the finicky and fashion-conscious Chinese, many of whom like to mix whimsy with their wireless. Small vendors are popping up all over the place and catering to those tastes. One of them sells a cell phone wrapped in fish skin (maybe it's waterproof). Another vendor sells a handset that's covered in diamonds. And yet another sells a phone that cuts a rug when it rings.
