the key words, which may very well disqualify the action is "migrate
without much problems"...

I concur. yesterday I went to see a new customer that had a dead
AS400 (yes, a model 150 with only 2 drives and not mirrored). They
have the same software (with upgrades done by a consulting
programmer) that they originally wrote for that machine and they had
no need for more. They are a prime candidate por the IBMini that the
IT Jungle article mentions. They were still using v4r3 and old COBOL
and RPG. As long as those programs migrate without much problems they
could use a smaller, cooler machine.
The customer base exists, whether they finally make it or not is a
different tune. Even the express edition machines are hard to sell in
this country, especially to those kind of shops that are so small and
have so little need for iron that the only reason for upgrading is a
hardware failure or an SSL algorithm mismatch...

Let me tell you about my first hardware upgrade. In '03 we'97
replaced a
vintage AS/400. During that six year period, I'd say we had singledigit
growth. The new server gave about 2100% more processing power.stuff
Will the new system be right for me? Maybe, maybe not. But for
those people in this discussion with 5 or less users, almost certainly.

I guess just curious. A lot of people think people will just
gobble
up but it's not right for them. You're right, I know it's notMail
right for me. I just wondered if people thought it would be right
for people like you and whether or not you thought it really would be right for you.
