RE: Time to get serious

I agree.  I'd be careful to not mention RPG specifically.

Use SQL if you want, but get even better performance with native
programming.  Only the i5 has a high-performance, secure database built
in to the OS at no extra cost.

There are no viruses, adware, or spyware written for i5/OS.

Only the i5 can run Windows, 32 and 64 bit Linux, AIX, and i5/OS
applications concurrently on the same hardware.  Windows is a closed,
proprietary OS by comparison.

Got 150,000 employees?  Then you've got email problems.  You're probably
running a dozen or more servers dedicated to email.  Unless you run
Domino on an i5.  Then you'd only need one.  Got less then 150,000
employees?  Isn't it nice to know the i5 can handle your company as it
grows.

A buffer overflow won't crash or compromise an i5.

Need more disk space?  Can you add it without rebooting?  Can you make
it usable without rebooting?  Can you spread your data across the new
drives to improve performance (without rebooting)?  The i5 can.

I love it...but I can hear folks saying, "But I don't want to generate a
report program!".
