RE: Number of installed AS/400s

Treading Water AS/400 is going strong in its tenth year with over
                  25,000 installed applications, more than 500,000 installed
customer
                  sites, excellent management tools, a solid platform
specific
                  database and 99.8 percent reliability. It is being
positioned as a solid
                  platform to deliver Internet based applications with
future
                  development leaning towards thin client architectures and
browser
                  based applications, preferably running Java. With the
AS/400
                  involved in e-business, there is room for continued growth
for the
                  platform. Neil Spencer-Jones, a managing consultant with
the
                  National Computing Center, believes that there will be a
strong
                  market for the AS/400 for years to come.
