I love it. I teach MI-classes at COMMON. 2: I do not not always like the way IBM (mis)handle the platform, both when it comes to marketing and when it comes to treating loyal (and captive!) customers in a reasonable manner. Please don't confuse the two. 3: a lot of (mis)information and (wrong) hype about the AS/400 is out there. Because the system is so closed it is hard for most people to see through lies. With my small talent I try to set the record straight at times. Some people don't like that, but (as it says in the CIA HQ lobby: "ye shall know the truth, and truth shall set you free").
