RE: IBM overhauls iSeries for the long haul

Talked to a married couple at COMMON.  They both worked at one of these 
multi thousand AS/400 shops.  Each one is exactly the same.  One dies, and 
IBM ships one in immediately.  They are preloaded at IBM with SAVSTG / 
RSTSTG waiting for just such an emergency.  Some of the finance companies 
do the same thing.  I think AM General is like this.

I think that was State Farm....  Farmers Bureau had(has) massive 
operations
centers that house their host systems.  State Farm parked an as400 in each
office....
