I am slightly more reserved in my visions. I just have visions of the many
people who actually depend on AS/400s finding out about it. In Las Vegas,
every major property operates primarily off of IBM midrange (or at least
they all did). That's because Las Vegas requires 24/7 dependability. Even
the Mirage Resorts, which tried several very expensive projects to replace
their 400s with NT had to keep the boxes around for handling business infrastructure.
But how many employees know their paychecks were printed on a 400? Or how
many people had any idea their rooms, banking, phone services, whatever were
handled by AS/400 because that machine kept purring.
I used to equate it to a pacemaker. When you buy a pacemaker, will you pick
the shiniest, or the most reliable? If your manager bought you the shiniest,
was he really a good manager?

I have visions of IBM people getting 5,000 - 10,000 messages about our
views instead of 5 to 10 messages.
