We wanted to find out what's on your minds concerning it these days, so recently we asked Search400 members what they would say to iSeries general manager Buell Duncan -- good or bad -- if they had the chance. Everyone sang the praises of the machine, but many voiced concerns with IBM's marketing of the system and with the company's customer service.

Online help for this command suggests formatting beyond :/N and :/P is possible (FFTDCA controls, in hex, can be inserted in the text), but I'm having no luck in finding either the codes or samples to learn from. We're particularly interested in bolding, underlining, and changing the color of text."

Pick the badminton racket up. Scientists in Japan say they've found that video games can mess with your head and that it's better to grow up playing outside with friends than inside with Super Mario. In their study scientists found that playing video games for too long put strains on the test group's brains and made it hard for participants to concentrate even after the "game over" message popped up. Evidently a lot of video games arouse tension and fear, which could literally get on a person's autonomic nerves. Working in IT arouses tension and fear too. How are your autonomic nerves feeling today? Give 'em a hug.
