Thanks to postings on this & other forums discussing the notion that the IBM 
rebranding is for the purpose of helping IBM, not neccessarily for helping 
AS/400 & what can we loyal 400 fans do to extend the life of IBM investment 
in R&D for the 400 & if IBM marketing is going to bury the 400 in promotion 
of p-series for UNIX etc. by possibly doing IBM's marketing job for them to 
get new 400 customers, a lot of such sites have been shared in past postings.

There is also an issue of testing ... how do you know a site is REALLY 
powered by a 400?

I ASSUME IBM Rochester is powered by 400 or RS/6000 Ya think?   Rest of IBM 
probably not.  I would not be surprised if some IBM sites are powered by 
non-IBM servers.

I also assume some of the trade publications serving 400 are powered by 400 
but which ones?

http://400times.co.uk
http://www.as400journal.com/
http://www.the400resource/ssl/ (AS/400 magazine)
http://www.as400network.com (News/400)
http://www.midrangecomputing.com/forums/

Some of the 400 user groups might be powered by a 400

I believe we were once told that midrange dot com is powered by a non-IBM 
UNIX box and LINUX

I would assume that some of the vendors supporting the 400 world are powered 
by 400 but how can you tell ... is it illegitimate to use that AS/400 box 
icon on your site if you are NOT powered by a 400?

http://www.lansa.com - check out their Spotlight area ... now it is my 
understanding that LANSA for the WEB is not exclusively a 400 product ... 
they also support other platforms

http://www.pacsun.com Pacific Sunwear (Anaheim, CA)

http://www.songfile.com - someone once said this is powered by 400 programming

http://www.firstcalldirect.ie - take MOTOR link
