Just when I was starting to enjoy the article Randy says this;

<<      But that's not to say that the AS/400 is seeing any
                 kind of new life. Just the opposite is true in fact.
                 According to AMR Research, the growth rate of
                 AS/400 sales among the enterprise resource
                 planning vendors is steadily declining. 

                 "AS/400 sales are not plummeting, but they are
                 diminishing," Shepherd said. "In 1997, new sales of
                 the AS/400-based enterprise resource planning
                 products dropped 18 percent as of 1997."
