It is impossible to have too much money.  It is also impossible to have to
much disk, too much memory, or too many mips.  Don't even bring it up :)

-|You can go from a $8000 AS/iSeries to a clustered 24way with
-|13+TB with one
-|OS.  What other platform can you do that with?  And unless you
-|are going to
-|do the computing needs of (say) Germany,  why would you need more.
-|
-|I say it is misleading at best.   A 24way would be "higher end business"
-|a zseries would be "Highest end business"

-|The main point they made was that to go from a lower end business (AS/400)
-|to a higher end business (IBM Mainframe) you have to change operating
-|systems.
-|(0S400 to OS360 ???).  In and of itself this is fairly true.
-|
-|I would not agree with the fact that you can't do anything with an AS/400.
-|Perhaps in the past that may have been true, but now the AS/400 has pretty
-|much become a full network server.
-|
-|So, I would agree with half of what the article said.
