Re: Model 270

Dave, 

One would have to know a little more about your operations than a public
email can probably offer.  

One flag that goes up is that if you are going to host customer data on
your machine, you might not want to opt for a used machine, but purchase
(or lease) a new one that comes with hardware and Software Maintenance
bundled into the price (Buying either of these after the fact is
sometime, though not always, expensive)
 
I'd suggest that you talk to an iSeries system integrator and get the
skinny on what is available.  There is a great one called MSI
(www.msiinet.com) that is based in Omaha.  I've worked with Robin Tatum
(rtatam@xxxxxxxxxxx) before - he is a real knowledgeable sort and would
be a good place for you to start.
