Re: Amazon & the AS/400

[mcrump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

One basis for this rumor may be their tools site.  Amazon bought Tool Crib of
North America.  Tool Crib as we know was created and running on an AS/400.  I
haven't heard if Amazon got stupid and made that site change due to standards
and consitency....if they haven't then that site should still be running on an
AS/400 and ...........

Clearly, the rumor is suspect.

Check out:
<http://www.netcraft.com/whats/?host=www.amazon.com>
Amazon currently runs on Unix and Apache.

Also check out:
<http://perl.oreilly.com/news/amazon_0100.html>
There's quite a bit of Perl code behind Amazon.
