Re: ADVERTISING SUPPORT FOR AS/400 ANNOU

I was thinking the same thing after I wrote the post.  

But, I can't imagine any client with real-world stuff on their machine
would be interested.  However,  I did wonder about the magazines that like
to report on the AS/400, or the organizations like COMMON, or even some of
our fellow subscribers to this list that already have AS/400s with TCP/IP
installed and running.  After running a real-world service they'd know all
about security <bg>.

I also did the math:  100 users at $9.95/month is nearly $12,000/year. 
Not great, but then, 100 users isn't many, either.  On the other hand,
1,000 subscribers is well over $100,000.

Do I smell an opportunity here?


What would prevent a client of yours (or mine, or anyone's) from

establishing such a service?
