I'm with you Joe ...

Here we running many different platforms including RS6000,NT, Novell, HP, Windows 2000 and on and on. Both of our AS400's are the most reliable machines in our entire environment. There's something to be said for minimal downtime - especially in a healthcare environment....

I still love this machine.

Even though the disk failure rate is higher than I would like, I'm happy to
note that it hasn't caused me any serious trouble, and so far a total UDT
(unscheduled down time) of 15 minutes this year.  I blew another disk drive
yesterday, noticed it last night, called it in first thing this morning, and
within an hour and a half it was being replaced (with one IPL which cost me
the 15 minutes of UDT I spoke of).  The system is back up and running, and
the disk is almost done rebuilding itself.

This is what I pay for with my machine.  I guess with hot-swappable RAID
drives I could get the same sort of coverage with a server farm, but I'd
have to do it myself, eh?  Here, the drive was couriered in, the tech came
in and installed it, and away I go.  I didn't even have to leave my desk.
