RE: Which one to choose?

#1 I take it you don't need the Interactive side of things, if you do then 
maybe the 820 is better.
#2 In talking with and others, technology is growing so fast that the old rules 
of buying for the 3-5yr range is fast becoming out of date. Think about the 
18-24 month range for what you need and what are your options for that system 
in that time frame. Replace, Upgrade, ??

Subject: Which one to choose?


HI All,

We are going to up grade to our AS400 model 510 to a Series 270 / 8XX. I
would like to get your thoughts on what the positives and negatives are with
regards to going the 270 way or the 8XX way?
The 270 is 4 roughly 4 times what we need and should last us for a while.
When we upgrade or expand which is better for the long term?

Thanks for all the help,

James
