RE: Just for Fun (was v5r1 license key)

["Doug Hart" <doughart@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I too have an AS/400 system home in my basement that I use just for fun.
My 50S serves the web site http://dhart.no-ip.info where I post my AS/400
interests to.

As a consultant I'm not able to work on things that I necessarily find
interesting, but must do as the client wills.  Having my own AS/400 on my
home network frees me up to experiment/play.

And, yes care and feeding is expensive.  I would like a few additional
licensed programs but not at IBM prices.  And I'll likely be as v4r5 for a
long time.
