Well, when you put it that way, Windoze is also older than AS/400.

Luckily you're not moving to a Unix variant... that's even older as
AS/400.

Funny that such things are today's business criteria ?

Subject: Re: Helas another nail in the RPG coffin

In our case, we are a sort of glorified ASP in an industry vertical (more
to
it than that, but not important.) The person in the driver's seat is
certainly
not uninformed. He has made the decision that it doesn't look good on the
corporate resume to be running the business on an AS400 (he insists on
calling
it that) which is 20 year old technology, and therefore not cool.
Consequently,
we dump it, and move everything possible to Windows. What's not possible,
we
move to Oracle, and we do everything with packages, thereby throwing out
20
years of development effort, and do integration, not programming. It makes
some sense from a marketing perspective, and that's what he gets paid for.
He
really doesn't care much about anything else.
