Re: memory pools Now Cache Battery !

Yep all the Franken machins have this battery! (NOW!)

The newer ones have NI-MH Battery that Batteries Plus can make for you.

The battery is available at Wal-Mart for $10.

It's a GE/Sanyo PCF01M.  This is for most of the older cache cards.

Rob, This is not meant as a flame at all. But not everyone works for a big

company where costs don't matter.  I own and run a small business and we
have 9 iSeries boxes in our data center.  We maintain them ourselves to
cut
costs.  We have a local supplier and quick availability to parts.  We
also
do work for plenty of smaller companies that don't need/cant afford an
iSeries professional.  These customers are generally very cost
conscience.
We treat their money like it is ours and try to recommend ways for them
to
save money here and there.  We have been in business for 17 years, so I
assume we are doing a few things right.  Our first customer is our
biggest.


There is nothing wrong with making recommendations to save a few bucks.
Our
rates are also very reasonable because I don't want the first thing in
the
mind of the client to want to shoe me out the door because all he sees
are
dollars flying out the door the minute I walk in.  The cost of sales are
very high, and I will take a happy, repeat customer any day.

Sorry my suggestions seem penny pinching and cheap.

Yeah, but if it's under maintenance, who cares what it costs?
It's not like anyone would really try to run a business on a "Frankie"
or
some machine they bought off of eBay cheap.

But, I suppose for home use, then the Batteries Plus idea is a good tip.
