     Don,
     
     The fact that M$ has sold 600,000 copies of NT Server really 
     doesn't mean anything to anyone but M$. How many NT servers does it 
     take to get the same functionality of one AS400. 3? 5? 15? Who 
     knows? Unit sales means nothing. Perhaps there are so many books 
     about M$ products because there are more problems with them than 
     qualified people to work on them. NT _is_ everywhere.... dutifully 
     GPFing its worthless guts out wherever it goes.
     
     Have you ever wondered why the typical novice computer user thinks 
     the best way to deal with problems is to shutdown the computer and 
     reboot? This is the only behavior they've been accustomed to and 
     think that that's normal. BAH!

I know that more and more books are becoming available. But last year MS sold
over 600,000 copies of NT Server, versus about 350,000 copies of OS/400 OVER
TEN YEARS. I'm NOT dissing OS/400 ... just stating the fact that NT is
everywhere, and has such high visibility.
