This was obviously a reference to the RM05, and is mentioned correctly
elsewhere in the article.

I sometimes wonder about Carl Marbach and Dave Mallery. Their
columns often contain minor mistakes that make me wonder if they're
just typos or if these guys really don't know what they're talking
about. Also, what they write, even without mistakes, makes me wonder
the same thing.

In my opinion Dec Professional is on the bottom of the Dec rag heap. 
Hardcopy used to be worse, full of vendor supplied articles, but then
it was bought out by Digital News. Digital Review is my favorite.

(These are my personal opinions and not those of Sybase.)
