TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms)

FYI on the PMR I opened for the DB2 issues after WPG FixPack 2.

Yeah, that was 4 three letter acronyms in one sentence.

Thanks,

Curtis

Where's Chicago?


I was browsing this UK Property site that incorporates google maps into its search results. I decided to scroll to the US to see if any results came up near my house. To my surprise I didn't see Chicago on this level of detail. Gary, IN but not Chicago, come on now!

9/11 Movies - Are we ready?

An article released on CNN.com reviews the "major" movies we can look forward to. Including Superman, X-men, Poseidon Adventure re-make, Da Vinci Code, and Pirates of the Caribbean. However, also noted is something I am still forming an opinion but wanted to bring to light. That is, two new movies about different events surrounding the 9/11 tragedies. The first involving a true story of two port authority policmen caught in the rubble of the WTC buildings. The second involving the passengers of Flight 93 and their "taking back" the control of the flight.

I've had one question pop into my head. Would I go see these movies in the theater? I have yet to answer it. I didn't know anyone involved, nor did I live in the same cities these occurred. But it did happen in my country and was one of the most difficult events in my lifetime to deal with emotionally. Am I ready to see this on the big-screen? I don't know.
