Re: Number of installed AS/400s

[Glenn Ericson <Glenn-Ericson@xxxxxxx>]

Then  box serial numbers  might be counted?

Where is the retired<?> model B,C,D,E,F systems in all of this?
How does one know they are retired and not to be counted?

In the end  does it  really  matter- either way it is a real
 big number- indicating a success. YES
