RE: USDA Agency Looks to Consolidate 2,384 AS/400s


Who do we write to to voice our displeasure?  


President Bush?
Sam Palmisano?
Dear Abbey?

Hey, if I had 2400 S/36 environments hanging around I would try to
replace them too.  It seems like the RFI is looking at _how_ best to
replace them.  The article indicates they will even consider hosting
them on a few consolidated System i servers.  

So if you think you have a plan on how to extend the life of this
application into the future, here is your chance to make the really,
really big bucks and submit a proposal.  Though I have to admit, I'm
skeptical.  

As many (including IBM) predicted years ago, the problem isn't the
hardware, it's the old creaky software that is dooming these 2400
AS/400's.
