RE: AS/400 UPGRADE

["Allen, Stu" <sallen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Totally agree with Chris about going to a 720 is possible.  The price saving
on software subscription and maintenance pretty much pays for the thing,
plus you get bucket loads more performance and upgradeability.

Whilst we're at it, any particular reason why you're going to V4R3 rather
than V4R4?

Regards,
Stuart
