The reason for the 2 systems on in PA the program that WAS primarily running
our company wasn't y2k which resided on the F50.  So they bought the 620 to
run JDE.  The goal was to just unplug the F50 but another program runs on it
and the timing to take it off isn't appropriate now.  The bottom line is
there is a LACK of funds going into my department.  We have no maintenance
on the F50.  We just got it on the 620.  I just came here a year ago and we
are literally cut and pasted together.  They don't have the F50 on the
network.  We don't even have all our users on the network.  They are not big
e-mail users either.  get the picture?

Chris - you had some good ideas and maybe I'll take the time to get the F50
on the network because even if we got everything off the F50 today,  our
acct dept is still running year end reports off that system to compare w/
the new.  We just closed our year last month.

Thanks for the great response from all.  It just helps my case.

any reason there are two systems in pa?  and the maintenance on the f50
must be a killer.
