No, you're fairly accurate.  Problem is, the M$ kool-aid is all they were 
taught in B.school.  And, gee, guess what, you bring the skillsets you 
learn in school to the workplace....

Frankly, we've had a major turnover in IT management and Sr. staff in the 
last 10 years and very few of them know about AS400 or consider it to be 
state of the art...
