RE: Infoworld / Tom Yager column

Not really....  How long has the press been lamenting the death of OS400?
The PowerPC line is a proven performer in the industry, and AIX is just one

You do understand that the iSeries runs on a Power processor?  Did you read
the line which says "When AIX crumbles, can the Power product line be far
