RE: Lower End AS/400s

[Konrad Underkofler <kdunderk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I was only going to resort to facts when you did,
since you whined about TCO, TCO, TCO, TCO without
ever giving an example I felt no need rebuke that
piece of your arguement.

Hopefully the world will be free of iSeries zealots
and bigots some day. I am afraid all the ranting about
how great the AS/400 was/is just makes the people doing
it seem so out of touch with reality not to mention
appearing to be a joke to the recent CS college grads.

Enough! I will agree the iSeries is a great niche box
but to promote it as the best solution for all that
ails most companies is outright retarded.

Regards

Konrad

Konrad, I'm going to stop now.  You don't even bother with facts.

The entire Konami line is pretty much PS2 only.  Try adding a fact or two
with your diatribes, and they might have a little more weight.  It's obvious
YOU'VE decided the AS/400 is a dead end, and aren't going to let any pesky
little facts get in the way of your conclusion.  You have lots of opinions
and no facts.  I try to avoid these discussions.

Joe
