Don,

I saw that article yesterday.  The journalist obviously was more interested in
making his deadline than he was in getting his facts straight.  It's a wonder he
even SPELLED AS/400 correctly.  And he obviously still has that misguided notion
that "mid-range systems" like the AS/400 and RS/6000 are for "small and medium
businesses".  Probably thinks they should still be called "minicomputers".
