Quit being so narrow and think a little about what's going on. Every one of these sites have a story about IBM's 4Q99 financials. Most mention how bad 99 was for the AS/400. www.news400.com www.cnnfn.com http://dowjones.wsj.com/p/main.html www.midrangecomputing.com www.the400group.com www.computerworld.com www.infoworld.com www.postbulletin.com/ Be sure to not miss Tom Bittman's quotes at NEWS/400. I don't know why IBM can't ship upgrades.
