Re: IBM overhauls iSeries for the long haul

m36 support ended v4r4 (or v4r5).
S36ee still supported and ibm has indicated will always be.
I am working with a software co with
approx 10 sites in m36, 10 sites in s36ee, and 2 sites native.
These companies make a hardware move every 6-7 years.
This year have already moved 2 off of m36.
i5 announce should push remaining old boxes within next
1-2 years.
(please no hardware calls...)
