Agreed.  Sieze the day.  Not only for the AS/400, but for companies that have 
Y2K ready
products.  Application houses are having to sell the AS/400 as ready, whereas a 
big, really
BIG, joint push could do a lot for all parties.

IBM has had a tradition of avoiding customer name dropping and using it's size 
as marketing
issues, but maybe it's time to tell, no, to shout, exactly who is using an 
AS/400 and why they
are using it.

A little visionary statement of direction wouldn't hurt either.

No one party has to "hitch" onto another companies band wagon, but if you're 
ready, let's start
the parade and get some new converts!

Happy Holidays.
