Mike, I don't know why you would downplay availability.  While Wintel
numbers may indeed be getting better, they still have a LOOOOONG way to
go before they come close to iSeries numbers.  You CAN get pretty good
numbers using redundant systems, but then you really have issues of
complexity (as well as cost).
