I'd guess that those "few months" have been spent either waiting for the 
system to IPL or a twelve line program to finish running against 100 records 
;-P!  Seriously though, all experience should be relevant -- what _HAVE_ you 
been doing with the B10?  IBM usually only adds features to the AS/400, not 
take them away.

It's worthless, don't bother to buy it unless you already have a licensed B10 
at home that needs parts.
