Neil --

"fools" ... "fiction" ... "morons" ...

Resorting to name-calling only weakens your arguments. Seriously.

I HAVE and DO work with NT all day every day. 400+ users. Some slight problems 
from the operating system.

I HAVE and DO work with OS/400 all day every day. Scores of users. Some slight 
problems from the operating system.

What did I say? "Different needs require different OS's".

Peace,

Wow - an NT system can support 200 users !!!!!  
I know they can stay up for 24 hours - as long as you don't try to
actually use them to run anything !    :-)

PS - I'd sure like to read that prize piece of fiction in InfoWorld from
those fools who think they're going to save $700,000 a year by dumping
AS/400's for NT.  What issue is it in ?

Sounds like the usual bunch of morons who look only at the initial cost
of acquisition and ignore operating costs.  
I wonder if they'll have the guts to print a follow up story in a year
or two telling us how much they lost ?
Then again, they're a publishing company, so maybe they'll just print
the money to replace what they lose !   :-)
