Hi, With all due respect, let me assure you that the future of the AS/400 - iSeries or whatever the hell you want to call it is excellent. Without violating any nondisclosure agreements that I hold between my firm and IBM, I can state that many, many future releases are in the cards for the best operating system in the world, OS/400. From a technology perspective, IBM has OS/400 and it's challenges firmly in it's sites, and is working diligently to make the system even bigger and better. They are keenly focused on the limits architected into the system, and are working on overcoming them in OS/400 before we realistically run into them as business problems. I will be the first to admit that clearly they have @#$%ed the marketing of the box, but this is more a statement of "greed is good" than anything else. Also screwed up was the abortive attempt to rename the product, so as to guarantee that it has zero mindshare. Most end users and managements continue to call it the AS/400. The folks at iSeries Brand believe that no amount of advertising will help the product, and they might be right. I can tell you that from observation, that they are not allowed to disparage their eServer brethren (pSeries, zSeries and xSeries) no matter how inferior they are, this is a corporate no-no. Even though they won't admit, look at what platform M$ uses to run their business! This year I will be 50, and I look forward to working on this platform into my retirement. Don't think that our platform is dying, because it's not. It's getting both older and better all the time.

If we do, does IBM think some of the issues we address in this List warrant response? Can someone or people closer to IBM or IBM itself give us a clear and truthful answer on where AS/400 is going? If IBM sees a future for the AS/400 can IBM look us in the eyes and explain their plan or lack of in the past and present? How is IBM going to expand the market for the AS/400, by not having marketing plan and no attractive developers' incentive approach. I will be interested in knowing the detail patent information on software as it relates to OS400? COMMENTS ========== IBM has proven to me that they have a nonchalant approach to the AS/400. IBM has no future support, plan, or business plan for the AS/400. IBM will systematically drop the AS/400 as soon as starts loosing money on it, I think this is in progress anyway. IBM will continue to support current shops as long as they have to and make believe that they care. IBM is not in business to build or market the AS/400 to new shops. It will reduce revenue on other platforms due to its stability and reliability. I am at a point of diminishing return with the AS/400 system as it relates to public perception of the system and my career.
