Thats all folks!

James,

Newbie? :) Woo da hoooooooooooooooooooo!

Obviously the iSeries is the solution to all that ails
the world. Good luck with your clients. The nebulous
terms such as quality, reliability, best that surround
most of the discussion on the list are troubling since
they are never backed up by anything approaching a fact
or anything approaching an open frame of mind.

And of course any discussion always leads back to the
FACT that Microsoft runs their business on AS/400s...

Not to mention the endless Microsoft bashing for no good
reason.

I do agree with you on one thing, the best measure of a
computer is the value it adds to a companies bottom line
or what works works.

Everyone have a wonderful holiday season! I promise not
to inflict any of my non-fact based radical opinions on
anyone anymore. You may whine on in peace, playing to
the already converted crowd.

Bye folks!

Regards

Konrad

Joe,

Don't you just love it when a newbie joins the list and shoots off their
mouth?! :)

The way I look at computer solutions, or the solution de jour, is like
the high school slut.  Just because something is popular does not
translate into something of quality.

As a 25+ year professional, I support quality, and IMHO, the
AS/400-iSeries is as good as it gets.  My clients, the REAL survivors of
ANY economy, also seek quality.  The acquisition of quality is WHY they
are the survivors!

As a personal note to Konrad: This time of year is a time of peace.

There are many participants on this list that would enjoy a truly lucid,
logical, honest discussion of the merits of any technical, economical
business solution that benefits both your career and those that employ
you.

This list is NOT a proving ground, but a mutual benefit society and free
exchange of ideas.  No judges: what works works.

Best regards to all, and a happy holiday season to you and those that
you hold near and dear.

J Kilgore
