Good point, but used and refurbished equipment should be available I would think. Or am I whistling in the dark there? We, like many, work on bit of a shoestring. Hell, I coulnd't get management to buy the upgrade to a nice brand new 620 (or was it an 820?) that with the deal IBM was giving, would have been very close in cost to what we had been paying. (We were on a 3 year lease). And yes, this is the primary machine for all our financials, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Whisonant [mailto:chris.whisonant@comporium.com] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 7:19 AM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: RE: V5R1 (why upgrade?) >It seems that we have no business reason to upgrade out box to V5R1, >everything is just working dandy with V4R4, so am in no rush to have my >system slow down because of the new OS ( am running a 9406 S20 38G DASD) . Do you have a dedicated backup machine? Is this am "important" business machine? In the event of a crash or natural disaster or any other disaster, you would not be able to order new hardware that will run V4R4 - just ask Al Barsa. BTW, Al Barsa, I was at your Common session in October and we are supposed to upgrade from V4R4 to V5R1 on our production box (720) in a couple of weeks. We just upgraded our backup machine last week without a hitch. I wish we had not taken this long, but at least we had a dedicated backup/failover machine.
