Yeah..it is...technically right or technically wrong, that's the answer. I
admire the technical purity of someone still using BetaMax or OS/2, but I do
this stuff for a living. I will work on and support iSeries boxes till I
retire (about another 20 years), but I doubt if I will see many more
(additional) iSeries installations. IBM hasn't done a good job of
competitive installs or of positioning the iSeries for different
environments rather than back room processing. If I had my druthers, I would
have all ecommerce sites using OS/400...but I also understand I can get the
90%+ of the same value for 25% of the cost. It's tough to justify that
additional expense for such a small additional return.
