RE: OS/400 on a Sun unix

[Jeff Bull <Jeff.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IMHO, who in their right mind would want to run OS/400 on another harware
platform?
The iSeries is simply the BEST server on the market.
I believe the question is, or should be, "what operating system do you want
to run on your iSeries, OS/400, AIX or Linux? Windows and S390 will be
available soon.

I hope (for the sake of his family) that the salesman trying to sell OS/400
on Sun, is not paid purely on commission.  But perhaps he is a conman of the
old-school.  Now would anyone on the list like to buy the Tower of London
from me, I only have twelve left?

Kind regards,

And my point is that a "competitive price" in the 0-1000 range would not
garner any profit for all the time spent in development since the volume
sales would be so low.
