One of the reasons my client uses iSeries is because they do not want
the costs/downtime associated with may other alternatives.

I think one of the biggest battles the iSeries has with other systems is
the hype. There is a lot of hype for alternative systems, but nowhere
near enough for the iSeries. Most non-iSeries companies have never even
heard of the machine

There is also lot of negative hype put out by the supporters of
alternative systems and very little seems to be done to refute it, IMHO.

There I go - jumping on Joe's bandwagon. Now we can both rant.

Amazing.  I'm no marketing guy (thank goodness), but why wouldn't IBM make
one of their clever little commercials outlining what is in the example

get into the 400 world five years ago because it was dead! <vbg>

This is especially humorous to me because I'm hearing the horror stories
from my last shop that is going from the 400 to run SAP on Sun boxes.
Twenty boxes to replace one iSeries.  A Unix person, an Oracle DBA and all
they hear is operations on the phone saying "we have servers down"!
