IBM, are you listening? Here's someone who wants an AS/400 to teach kids
how they work (and it doesn't have to be new, and he doesn't even care if
it has an ethernet card). U-u-u-hhh -- what's the proper response to this?

(PS: if your answer is, "send someone over to tell them how well WebSphere
runs on an NT box", you've got a future in marketing!)

(PPS: that last statement was a JOKE!)
