RE: Playstation 2 is an AS/400

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

And I can't remember the name of the movie in which I saw a S/36, 
after they were obsoleted.  They had stuffed a bunch of electronics 
into the diskette magazine readers.  Again, to signify a big
computer monolith.

I spotted an AS/400 in the movie that was a sequel to The Fugitive.  I think it 
was called US
Marshals.  It starred Tommy Lee Jones and Wesley Snipes.

I suspect it was a B model, two racks, with the big reel tape drive in a 
drawer, and lots of disk
drives.  It was directly behind Tommy Lee Jones when they were in the Marshalls 
office looking at
video tape of a crime.  I guess the 400 was supposed to indicate lots of 
computer power. :-)
