Re: 3rd Party AS/400 Maintenance

Larry, 

Totally agree...  I use and recommend ALOT of Dec Dta stuff to
clients...but if anyone thinks that I'm going to use someone besides IBM
for memory or DASD, that's just not going to happen.  

I did get the biggest kick out of one vendor a while back that HAD to have
a PC attached to their DASD array for it to work...:)
