RE: Ready to scrap an AS/400

Jim:

So this poor guys writes us a note and tells us he is having a terrible
problem, that he is seriously frustrated and, by the way, our baby is ugly.
We all fall on him like a pack of starving wolves.  I think it would take a
lot of courage for someone to expose themselves that sort of abuse again.
This was not our finest hour.

Are we all saying that:
if properly installed...
if it is the right application for the job...
if sized right...
if at the latest ptf's...
if tuned right...
if properly managed...
that Domino is not a good solution?????
I've heard both stories - some think it's great, some not.
BTW - the above problems are the same for ANY solution.
Would like to hear back from the original poster...
