Re: AS/400s Extinct at Microsoft

[Chuck Lewis <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ya, not to get this all stirred up again, but if you read that BS at the MS 
link, it is
REALLY hard to believe they replaced that many AS/400's (and they MUST have 
been LARGE
systems to have the quoted maintenance fees) with, not to mention the VAX 
systems, with what
they mention and then have the response time like they say. Also wonder about 
"uptime" etc.
