Thanks in advance.

Bill,

I'm going to give you some credit for this perspective. I certainly don't see spending $5 trillion solely to maintain current mainframe.

What I do see is spending even more than that on worldwide upgrades from antiquated systems to faster, and hopefully date compliant, systems for all businesses.. of course, this is over 50 years... :0)

Its the world of client/server and Novell is finally coming forth with a GUI'd competitor to Windows NT. Can hardly wait.

Regards,

Ron

Bill -

He's still a numerologist lunatic.

A numerologist believes numbers have religious significance.

Capers Jones is hardly a numerologist.

Capers' point is that big software projects fail big time. Can you offer ANY experience to the contrary?

Please to offer specific details of the largest software effort you have been involved in.

If you've got better facts than Capers Jones, let's see them.
