Because i work with the System i and think it's a very interesting
platform that has a lot of unrealized potential. ------> and that is NEVER
going to change, the System i will stagnate where it's at, no new customers
just those with lots of $ invested (we've become the "mainframe"......)

You _always_ speak negatively of IBM and the System i - iSeries -

Why do you keep participating in these mailing lists?
Because i work with the System i and think it's a very interesting
platform that has a lot of unrealized potential.
Because i don't see my position as an absolute truth, and like to read
arguments by the other side - helping me to refine my position.
I've been reading this list since i started on the System i. I learned
*a lot* by reading a lot of posts made by many very competent people
on this list.
But i still don't think that the System i is the perfect solution to
everything, ending all wars, giving bread to all people and curing
cancer and aids. There's still a lot to be done.
Many people ignore that, or compare a System i 515 to NT4 that they
worked with when i was still a little kid :)
