boy, that sounds like a spam, huh? we have software for credit reporting and collection agencies, and some of the agencies have gone to a p/c based collection system, because that's hot in the industry now. 1. we have several of these associations that are expressing regret now over this decision, and last week one finally called and wanted to get everything back on the as/400. she expressed frustration about lockups, reboots, and fear that the p/c based solution was not stable. she said with the as/400 they never have these problems. 2. another association had the tape drive on the as/400 replaced about a month ago, and the engineer raved to the association manager about how the as/400 was the best machine ibm ever made, how rock solid and reliable they were. the manager passed this on to me, and actually sounded a little surprised. this association has been getting heavy pressure to switch to a unix based product, and last year, i thought they'd be. the perception was that the as/400 was just too old and not on the cutting edge of technology. but they had a board meeting last week, and they're staying with us. 3. i was in california last week, and they had a power outage in their computer room. the as/400 was back up within 20 minutes, but for quite awhile, they thought they'd lost the disk drive on the p/c server. it was down the better part of 1/2 a day. nj +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
