RE: Ready to scrap an AS/400

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

And scrap any other C/S system you're thinking of.  Stick only with 
green screen.  And when you have to find a new job because they replaced 
all of your hardware with NT just smile smugly because you know how badly 
they've screwed up.

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.
