RPGPGM.COM four years old

Wow! I find it hard to believe that I have been writing this blog for four years.

We have been fortunate to share this journey in an exciting time for the IBM i operating system. In all my years of working with this operating system, and is predecessors, there seems to be so much more functionality added every year than there was in the past. During these four years I have written almost 400 posts and pages, trying to share my enthusiasm for IBM i and what it can do.

I am extremely grateful to you all for reading this blog, taking the time to write comments and send me messages, via the Contact Form. I have been really touched by the feedback you have sent. This encouragement is the reason that I feel the urge to keep going.

I must give a special thank you to RZKH for providing me with access to one of their IBM i partitions, and being very responsive to my requests for TR upgrades. Without them this blog would not be possible. Vielen Dank.

I am a geography geek, as well as an IBM i one, and it has been interesting to see where in world people have visited this site from. It has amazed me where you all come from. I have provided a list of countries at the bottom of this list if you are curious too.

Well here’s to a fifth year of RPGPGM.COM, and another year of me avoiding my greatest fear, running out of things to write about.
