One of my customers recently had a board meeting (board members electedfrom the membership). During the meeting the new chief PITA in thegroup, a PC bigot demanded that the organization immediately make plansto dump the AS/400 for something more modern. "It's old green screenonly crap and has long since outlived it's usefulness." The VP ISreplied that they had replaced the AS/400 with an eserver i5 a year agoand they are now using an all web interface. (The same interface thathad been running on the AS/400 for two years by that time!) They guy'sresponse was "About Time!" Gotta love a good name change.


AS/400 must die.

ps: For those IBMers reading this list. Please work on the cheat sheetsused by 1-800-IBM-SERV. (BOTH hardware and software) It's amazing howoften I explain that I'm calling about an i5 or iSeries or about i5/OSand they finally exclaim: "So you have an AS/400 then! Why didn't yousay so?!"
