Re: last OS400 ver for M36?

It's moves like this that are sending a lot of die hard IBM shops to
other platforms.There's a reluctance by many companies, especially in
this  very volitile market, to spend a greater budget dollar in this
area.
Moves like this will really harm IBM in the long run.
It takes time and money just to migrate to 36E!
My thinking is, that there are a great many /400 shops running M36 , (I
for one support 6), than IBM or his mailing list is willing to
acknowledge.
