There is a good report by the D.H. Andrews group on www.as400.ibm.com
under "what is AS400".

Well written & comprehensive. Good Ammo

Also look at ent magazine (The Independent Newspaper for Windows NT
Enterprise Computing) 
January 14, 1998 Issue - Title Skinny Bald Guy visits IBM.

Thats right from an NT Publication ! - certainly not pro-IBM AS400
