Re: Using an AS/400 for a high volume on line store

If you do your planning well enogh, you may find a surprise. Before recomending a cheap server, find out all the extras you need, and you will problably end up spending more than using an AS/400.

        My point here was, that for all intents and purposes, this application 
, if done by a skilled web technician, and the appropriate software and 
hardware, will most likely be done a hell of a lot cheaper than an AS400 
solution.

        Remember, (albeit complex), this is a one application system.
        
        I'm discounting the business and accounting  application software 
needed in the back end.
        If the client, has no accounting/business software behind the store 
front application, then I would agree, that investigating an  AS400 solution 
may be in order.
