Re: should have used an iseries/400

Verrry eeenteresting! Quote--One stipulation: That the new system use more flexible and current programming languages—Java and the Extensible Markup Language— rather than OS 390 to gather, compute and deliver data to the media outlets.

This erroneous (IMO) belief that the new is automatically better! Haven't we all seen that Java is _not_ faster-esp. if we've tried to use OpsNav 0r WDSC?

Huh!
