I think IBM plans on making 2003 the last year of the
System/38/AS/400/iSeries product line, so I'm thinking how best to
manage this situation from a career perspective.
---------

I'd like to see any official verification of this statement.  With no place
to move RPG programs, IBM loses a huge base of existing customers.  Hard to
see that happening.  What may happen is the development of a box that
supports both OS/400 and other operating systems simultaneously.  Heck,
that's already happening, and I like it.  But to say that the very last
AS/400 will be built some 20-odd months from now is an awfully inflammatory
comment, especially with no backing.
