I would like to thank the following people:

Richard Jackson
Kelly Schmotzer
Carl Galgano
Jeff Silberberg
Alex Moore
Sharon Burke
Pam Fryer
 
who actually took the time to talk to me, meet with me or offer 
help in other ways, so that the AS/400 community would not lose
one of its own.  They are the true believers in the AS/400 and
the products that it runs.  They did not talk about what someone
should be doing to save the AS/400, they took action to save one.

As for our business partner, they are history.  When it was decided
to go with the AS/400 as the platform, ALTA purchased the largest
model and configuration within its budget.  I don't see anything
wrong with that.  When it was decided to run Domino on the box,
ALTA went with the BP's recommendation, not what they have allegedly
recommended.  We happen to be running the 2290 processor.  After
talking to Kelly Schmotzer, I was told the lowest recommended
processor is the 2292.  So either the BP did not know what they were
talking about, (so much for certification), or they lied to us.
Giving them the benefit of the doubt, that they just did not know
what they were talking about, they went and lied to someone on this
list about what they recommended, and to whom they had no business
lying to.  I am not the only one in Atlanta who feels this way 
about this BP. So, they are gone.  One of the amusing things to 
come out of this, is that they had raised some concerns about what 
was being said "on that internet chat room".  It sure sounds like 
they know what they are talking about.

So in the next few weeks, we will be removing Domino from the 170
and giving it it's own "pigpen", because we really do need to do
the job we are trying to do.  I just wanted to thank everyone who
was part of the solution,(out of how many on this list) and give
credit to those it was due.
