Re: Why NOT the 400?

Good response, James.  I agree with most of your statement, except the RPG
part...

There's too much legacy code written in RPG that they need to support,
according to their long-time philosophy (going back  to S/38 days) of
"protecting the customer's investment in their application software".

Problem is, they went back on that philosophy several years ago when they
started charging extra for interactive CPW.  Since then they either want you
to rewrite everything using WebSphere & Java (and use IBM Global Services to
do the work), or they want you to pay through th a$$ to keep your legacy
apps running.
