Re: NT vs AS/400

David, 
  I agree Microsoft takes a bunch of flak on this
board
as does IBM and it tends to be an IBM board. I
personally don't believe there are any good guys or
bad guys in this debate. However, I wonder what your
speed comparison between the compaq and the 400 would
be like in a real life situation with multiple TCPIP
workstation connections. Meaning when more than one
person is trying to connect and or access data from
your Compaq or AS400. I don't know that it will make a
difference but it is a thought. After all the real
strength in the AS400 architecture is its ability to
handle more than one task. You may argue that NT does
this as well but It would hard to convince me that it
does so based on the platform comparisons you have
described.

All horse dung aside have a good one!

Vance
