All of you must have a lot better luck keeping WDSCI up and running than I
do. I average about 4 hours before it locks up. Talk about hidden costs.

The cost difference between SEU and CODE/400?  $0.00.  Oh I suppose some 
will argue that's hiding the true cost.  Because you'll need a beefier PC, 
etc.  However:
1)  SEU requires a 5250 client, most, including iSeries Access, aren't 
free.
2)  SEU requires the interactive tax.
So, if you want to argue about 'hidden costs' don't forget those.  And we 
just shelled out $250,000 for the interactive tax.

Interesting point. Anybody care to comment on the cost difference between 
SEU and, say, CODE/400 nowadays?

Hard to find anything wrong with this sentiment. Those of us who began 
serious programming back when systems were "8K _PLUS_ a 4K expansion box!" 
might never sympathize with any requirement for all those giga-hertz of 
mega-ram that every single app seems to need nowadays.

What's worse, it seems the more memory my PCs have and the faster the 
processors and the more unused disk, the slower the _very same apps_ run. 
I run iSeries Access on my laptop and get performance with iSeries 
Navigator that's not perceptibly different from running on my desktop with 
four times the memory and twice the processor speed and double the unused 
disk space. (W2K laptop and WXP desktop.)

Sigh.
