This week was the 10th Annual Northeast User Group's two day conference. 
The conference was wall-to-wall AS/400.  We sold out the hotel for both 
nights.

In one session there was a panel with the top AS/400 people around, Craig 
Pelkey, Al Barsa, Roger Pence, Wayne Evans, and Peter Martin.  One 
question dealt with the cliche about the failure of the AS/400 community 
to attract young people.  Everyone somberly nodded their head in 
agreement.  Except me.  I looked around the room and saw under-30 people 
everywhere, including Peter Martin who can't be over 22.

So, my question:  Has the situation changed? Are there young people in 
your shop? Is the AS/400 going the way of the Shaker villages?
