Just got back from one of those 'strategic' meetings, and learned why the company is migrating away from the AS/400. The reason is the price of an entry model has become prohibitive. We were using the machines as a combination server/processor, and the combination of only supporting the last two releases (with the required hardware upgrades to support these releases) has priced the AS/400 out the back door. Whatever happened to Alan Alda's water pail and supporting customers from the tiniest seedlings to a forest of giant Redwoods? Why does IBM think the AS/400 has to be the next generation of mainframes? Does anyone have similar experiences, or is this a perception thing? Couseling is in session. You may approach the bench....... Dan Rasch - because if the human species concentrated on the really important things in life, there would be a shortage of fishing poles! IBM Certified twice....... but still a couple PTFs away from Nirvana.
