Skip Marchesani wrote an excellent white paper for the Patrica Seybold 
Group contrasting AS/400 and Unix.  It blows Unix out of the water.

Clearly IBM has been suggesting the AS/400 as the direction for S/36 
customers.  The problem is that the original S36E was not strong enough. 
The *M36 environment is where customers (who do not want to enhance the 
application architecture) are going.
