Re: Availability WAS(RE: Lower End AS/400s)

["Dr. Syd Nicholson" <sydnic@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To win the prize - It would be necessary to PROOVE that it it was the OS or
the hardware that was at fault. Now, if additional business applications
have been installed in order to allow the server to do something
useful??????

I could be very difficult, if not impossible to proove that the problem was
in the OS or the hardware. I don't think there is much chance that the prize
will be paid, even if the server crashes once per week!!
