Re: subject: iSeries Legends

Joe, Kevin, Neil...

The story line, except for the nosebleed stuff, is fairly accurate from
what I heard back Jan 2000 from the person that actually took over this
account.  Never heard mention of any nose bleeds...but to use the context
of the advert, well, they may have happened, but I can't be tooooo sure
about it.....

I do feel the ad lacks alot of punch and positive presence for the AS/400
and should state the events more as a actual fact than a rumour that may
have happened but the guy loafing at the water fountain just wasn't sure
that it ever happened.   Uh, it did.  IBM missed an opportunity to really
stress super reliability as a fact versus a rumour...

Anyone heard of a Windows or unix box running for that long? :)
