RE: 5.1 upgrade

Rob,

If IBM's response to users concerns about the frequency
and reliability of OS/400 upgrades is to "publish something"
then they deserve the declining business they have. Their
current release policy is just a dumb attempt to generate
revenue forcing people forward with little value add.

Unfortunately those of us that use the 400's for 24/7
operations do not have 2 boxes, one of which would be
used to beta test every poorly documented buggy new release
of the OS.

Any action being taken with IBM over the unreliable 840?
An expensive machine down that long would have major
repercussions at most companies (ie who picked it? can
we get a refund? we need to find something more reliable?)

Regards

Konrad
