RE: What IS an "AS/400" ??????

["Stone, Brad V (TC OASIS)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not anymore.  They have phased out their AS/400s for NTs.  If I've ever
wished I could be a fly on any wall anywhere in the world, it would have to
be in their computer room during this.  

Or would I rather be in the users cubes listening to them moan?  Hmmm...
tough choice.
