Part of the problem, I think, is that CIOs and Managers don't understand the
AS/400 and what it's capable of.  They think of it as a mainframe that's
okay for business data and is programmed in some obscure language called
RPG, what, they playing Role Playing Games on these things?

Start letting CIOs and Managers know that, hey, the AS/400 can also do C,
C++, and now can do Linux, PERL, Java, etc... some of the things they've
heard about.  So they get a warm glowing feeling, if all the RPG programmers
drop off the face of the earth, they can get someone out there to program in
C, or Java, or PERL...

I definitely agree, it is a problem of perception, not reality.

The problem is one of perception - not reality.
