Hi Murray,

Replying to a message of Murray Lesser to David Noon:

 ML>     Mine arrived last month some time.  The fancy binder is too big to

Likewise, although that's as much due to existing clutter on my desk as the 
size of the binder.

 ML> "Developer's Toolbox" is a great buy :-(.

The targets for the "new" product are:
   1. Web developers, preferably Java and XML centred.
   2. Corporate database (i.e. DB2) developers, preferably using Java as the 
host language.

Best of all would be doing both: preparing XML Web pages with Java servlets 
accessing DB2 databases. This seems to be IBM's vision of all future computing. 
At least for now.

Regards
