Booth, it was my understanding from earlier posts that, unlike the OS, the LPPs do NOT transfer with the sale of a V4 AS/400. Could make the "cheap" AS/400 expensive in a hurry. I wonder how big of a market is out there that include people like myself who would like to have an AS/400 to work with in my own home - not running a business, but for learning, tinkering, developing that killer utility app <g>. What are the chances of convincing IBM to let the LPPs transfer on the smaller models when the AS/400 hardware is sold to a non-business entity? Why did IBM decide to allow the OS to transfer, but not the LPPs? Yes, I am aware of the timeshare deals out there; I'm still hemming & hawing. Would still like to have my own box.

With the operating system locked to the hardware, this mean there will be a cheap AS/400 available. The machine is at V4R4 with V4R5 in a box, uninstalled. What is it worth in your opinions?
