RE: Scalability

Joe,

I wondered the same thing.  I figured it was because I am surrounded by 
corn fields.  He did say large metropolitan area.

My only comment on your numbers, John, is what skill set is required of
an iSeries admin that prices him at $90K.  I know systems analysts with
10 or more years of experience having a hard time getting that; why does
an iSeries admin make that?  The whole point of the iSeries is that it
requires very little administration on a day-to-day basis.
