Cool.  BTW, InfoWorld actually has an AS/400 in their lab full time. 

I think it's worthwhile to do this sort of thing, and your note had the
right tone.  It sounded like it was from a sane person.  I sometimes have
trouble achieving that. <g>

The one problem with campaigning is the danger of their recognizing your
name if you send too many messages.  Then you're typed as "the AS/400 nut"
and slated for summary deletion.
