RE: State of the Midrange

["Schenck, Don" <Don.Schenck@xxxxxx>]

Those "damn weenie boxes" run NASDAQ ... ever heard of it???

AS/400:

Buick
Golfing
Yanni



Win 2000:

VW GTI with coil-over suspension ...
X Games
Blink 182




While the AS/400 is the reigning KING of robustness and reliability, the
FACT is that Gen-Xers are attracted to Windows.

Gen-Nexters are attracted to Linux.


This is all startin' to get interesting.


Peace,

Just read your State of the Midrange Don.............

"  If nobody has the information and confidence to buy these things, you're
not going to have anyone to sell them to, and you'll be soon out of a
job...and we'll be stuck on those damn weenie boxes and Billionaire Bill
Boondoggles!  If that won't get you religion, nothing will!"


ROTLFMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right on the mark and heres the proof here at NAMC:

Increase in AS/400 in 2000            -2
Increase in RS/6000                       +1
Increase in NT Servers                   +10

I think your piece is right on the mark.  If all you hear about is NT or
UNIX, guess what they are going to buy............(Say NTor
UNIX).............It ain't AS/400...........
