There may be a business reason for that.  Maybe for the same reason 
that we had 19 AS/400's.  Or the reason that some companies still run 
certain applications on dedicated 400's, like EDI, Domino, Web Serving, 
etc.  But, NT, in the hands of the right people, running a single 
application, has been satisfactory, on occasion.   However when it 
isn't I like my CEO's response, 'How soon until we can move that 
application to the AS/400?'

While I agree that NT bashing does get old, and that  NT has a lot going 
for it (Hey, Windows 2000 has been out a month and sold 7 1/2 million 
copies already), I am curious about the paradigm.   They have 20 NT 
servers?  20?!? That is a big number.  Why so many? 

I ask that because I see NT servers litter server farm racks like baggage 
on  an airlines baggage cart.  But then see one or maybe two AS/400 
machines off to one side doing the work of the organization. 

What is it that all of those servers are doing?  Why do they need all the 
boxes?  What is the feature they are getting by having 20 boxes?
