WordPerfect (was: IBM overhauls iSeries for the long haul)

That last one would be whippy...never make it past the marketing mavens.

I worked for a data comm company at the time that had a magic box to go
between AS/400, DEC VAX, mainframes, UNIX...somehow we thought having
WordPerfect on a 400 made sense. I implemented and it made it work...it
was pretty cool actually.
