RE: Anyone still haveone of these?

Vern:
I still have an E04 that is happily running V2R3.  It was the first
AS/400 I bought back in 1991 (I think), when we were still running the
business out of my basement.  In the first 6 months the drive in it
crashed and IBM replaced it under warrantee.  In 11 years it has NEVER
been down (except to move it twice).  Yeah, I don't need it anymore, as
I have several other boxes, but it is on our network (running one of the
first incarnations of TCP/IP), and every once in a while, if I need to
write a comm routine, I will do it on that box, cause if it will run
there, it will run anywhere!  It is a piece of nostalgia for me now.  My
first box, reminds me of when I first started my business.  I am waiting
for it to crash, and I will then put it out of its misery.  It looks
like an outcast among all the black box AS/400s in our computer room.
We're growing old together!
