Title: RE: AS/400 R.I.P.???

From the article:

"Power4 is on schedule to ship in the second half of next year in IBM's RS/6000 Unix servers and its AS/400 servers for small and medium-size businesses running Unix or Linux. "

Aren't there whispers of Linux being the next (read optional) OS to be used on the AS400?

Read an article today about IBM's new Power4 chip. VERY impressive.

What will it be used for?

AS/400's???

According to the article, for "high end RS/6000 systems ...".

Either the AS/400 gets blown away by the RS/6000 ... OR ... the folks at IBM
REALLY botched up the opportunity to say "high end AS/400 systems ...".
