Plan B:
 
Disaster recovery, development, web serving, etc...
 
Consider keeping this box for 5 years.  Buy a new 820 in 12 to 15 months. 
Migrate to it gradually, making it a neat clean machine.  Keep this box for
disaster, overload, training, historical data, and perhaps as your intranet.
 
 
Plan to have two boxes in service at all times..  Put the 820 on a 4 year
lease and at the end of the 4 years buy it and start the lease on the
replacement for the 730.  
 
It'd be real cheap business-continuation insurance.  I have to believe you
could make an awesome case for this, one that makes everyone look like a
hero.

I was wondering .... As we talk about the situation with my AS/400 Model
730/2C6F/2068/1510...
 
Is there anyone else who is in the same situation I find our company in?
That is, being on a 730 and facing the dilemma of losing the upgrade path to
the 8xx boxes as of October 2003?
 
Or is our company the only company that has allowed this to happen? 
 
Did everyone else upgrade to 8xx last year?
