Re: model 250

The 150 and now the 250 remain a strange box by IBM standards. They are
only marketed by "select" groups of folks. The machine comes
"shrink wrapped" with certain packages of software. This remains the
only
machine that has NO upgrade path and no software upgrade. If you want a
current version of OS/400, you are required to start all over on
software
purchases.
