Re: Re: Old AS/400's

In fact it was once reccommended to me that, if an employer consistently does 
not upgrade to latest Operating Systems, that is a sigh that it's a Bad shop, 
and I'd be better off leaving.

My philosophy is that "cheap" companies keep their old hardware (not cost 
effective to keep) because they don't have to rock the boat to have a new 
capital.  It's easier to let the AS/400 just keep running!
