I'm never going to let this statement slide.  The AS/400 is the best
business application development platform out there, period.  Any
application that has to do with ledgers and accounts and inventory and all
that sort of good stuff, runs best on an AS/400.  RPG is the best language
for writing that type of busniess logic, although there are COBOL people who
might disagree.

No other platform matches the AS/400 in this type of environment for ease of
development, scalability, and total cost of ownership.  Nothing.  If you
disagree, please show me some numbers.
