RE: Ready to scrap an AS/400

["Alex Moore" <alexm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad,

        Now just hold on a minute there Brad.  What if I called your great book 
a
pig just because I didn't understand it?  That's like saying it's the
hammer's fault in the hands of a poor carpenter.  I experienced Domino on a
620 and couldn't get it to stay up for a whole day without crashing or
killing my other users.  Went to a 720, and it runs like greased lightning,
with absolutely ZERO impact on other users.  Stays up all the time.  180
degrees different.  Did Domino change?  Not a bit.  Domino needs a server
model, configured properly.

        Once again, great book - how about an encore?

        Alex

Daniel,

Your problem should be with domino, not the AS/400.  It's a pig.  I've hard
IBM reccomends a minimum of a 720 with mucho disk arms and memory.

Scrap Domino.  Not the AS/400.  And ask for your money back.  They sold it
to you so you'd buy a bigger machine.
