Anybody home? I've been talking to myself since March on the other DMC thread...I just found out there are 2 DMC threads on SI. Geeez! Couldn't figure out how such a good company could have so little interest in it!Subject 20404 #'s are due Nov. 23 approx. There is no reason to think they won't be good. So far they haven't suffered from the Y2K problems that some companies have. --------------------------------------------------------- DataMirror adds value to IBM's e-business solutions rebate promotion DataMirror Corp DMC Shares issued 10,208,073 1999-10-29 close $6.2 Monday Nov 1 1999 Mr. William Hartwick reports DataMirror Corp., an IBM high availability business partner, has declared a special pricing promotion on its award-winning high availability suite for IBM AS/400 in conjunction with IBM's modified AS/400 e-business solutions rebate promotion announced on Oct. 19, 1999.
