Joe, Nice composition. "I don't recall MIFGY being there. But RATL really captured the audience with component-based development. Bottom line is I look for MIFGY to make a mark in the OEM world, not the average joe programmer-company dp shop world. IF COBOL, then certainly MIFGY, but if Web-enable, then MANY players. " Why do you think MIFGY missed the opportunities in db, lack of vision/leadership or false belief that COBOL will live forever? I don't have previous annual reports, but it would be interesting to see what the growth was over the past three - five years and where the growth was in MIFGY. Where were they spending their money and what was the return on that direction. Maybe when i get some free time, i'll go searching and see what they really did, maybe that will provide light on when they will recover and if they they have a valid plan.
