When things hit, they always hit at the worst possible way, and at the
worst possible time. For instance, we were just getting around to having
our wintel servers covered under maintenance. Many already are. However
one died. And the technician on site decided it just needed this one raid
card. It's a $1,200+ card. Called IBM (who was going to do the
maintenance). Since it's not set up it's on Time and Materials. Arrived
at 10am and left at 4pm. Just swapping in the new part ended up not being
the trick. Labor is what, $200/hr?

Server ran our company voice mail. That being down was not popular.
Especially since we've pretty much done away with any receptionists and
personnel is running very lean and to dump a couple of them into
receptionist duty wasn't the most popular thing with them.

So, if you stay on V5R3 and something occurs where you need IBM support
and NOW! you will be hurting.

If it takes too much time now to do the upgrade, when you can plan it out
peacefully, how long will it take when you're in a world of hurt?
