Don, This is not consistent with what IBM told me. What IBM told me is that Oracle maintenance was 22%, but this was long before they bought PeopleSoft, which bought JDE. Likely the information was only referring to their database product, but what do I know about Oracle? I only am knowledgeable about the best computing product in the world; the one that customers call the AS/400. The information may be dated, but this is what I was told by an IBM VP in late 9/01. If you need me to research further, please reply by private e-mail.

Please respond to Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@midra nge.com> Well, I have Oracle licenses for both Windows and Unix....it's part of the testing lab I have here....and their annual rates are REALLY cheap. And to get an upgrade, I DON'T have to call a bizneez partner, pay a TONNE of dough after determining how many tears I have to shed from what tier I'm in....it's a simple phone call and it shows up 3 days later...it's almost as easy as ordering AIXL o/s upgrades.... Damn be nice if getting OS/400 upgrades was that easy and cheap...
