IBM as400 Assistance
October 26, 2009
There are many problems that can crop up when you work in a large office. Since I am one of the bosses, I usually end up having to solve the problem. When we had trouble finding a replacement for our IBM as400 , I thought I would have a difficult day. I was glad to find that some solutions are easier than you think.
The day started out as any other. Around ten o’clock, an assistant of mine came to me in a panic. Our system had gone down and the tech department could not fix the problem. We were dead in the water. I knew that I had to find a solution soon. I got my laptop out and started looking for a replacement system. I was happy to find a site called perfdata.com that had the answers to my questions.
It turns out that they specialize in reselling equipment. That means that their prices are very competitive with everyone else on the internet. I was able to purchase another system and have it sent to us right away. I must admit that I had saved the day for my company. The tech people quickly got our system back online and my boss was impressed with my quick thinking. I’m glad when I can shine!
It seems that there is a new study out that predicts that women are more susceptible to cigarette smoke than men. A study by the Swiss indicates that women are younger when they get lung cancer, even if they have smoked less than men. There are other studies that show that women die in greater numbers than men from smoking.
Second hand smoke also plays a role in people who get cancer. I think it is important that if you smoke, at least have the courtesy to go outside and away from everyone else. Don’t forget that lung cancer is the leading cause of death for all people in the U.S.
A first step!

One thing that I have heard a lot about lately is people who are having financial problems. Our company had to cutback its hours and some of the good folks who work for us are now struggling to get by. These are good people who have done nothing wrong, but now they need help in order to set their financial situations right.
I always believe that taking action to solve these kinds of problems is the best solution. A good first step is to seek advice on debt management . I think that getting help from professionals will allow you to take control of the situation. There are many ways to get out of debt and it’s wise to consider all of them.
I hope that the economy will get better soon and things will get back to normal. Until then, I will continue to advise people to consider every option available to them. I am sure that our country and its people will rise to the occasion and begin a new economic era that better suits us all.
Welcome to Chicago
October 4, 2009
I thought that it was interesting that a baby mammoth was found by reindeer herders in Siberia and brought to Chicago. The baby mammoth who has been named Lyuba was believed to have been suffocated in a mud hole almost 40,000 years ago. The body is the best preserved specimen found to date.
Scientist are happy to study the remains and have found a few things that they didn’t know before. The body is expected to be put on display soon at the Field Museum in Chicago. The exhibit will also make several other stops before arriving at her final resting place in London.
