RE: 820 to 520 Upgrade

If you are getting an HMC, be sure to learn how to use it and go in to
the process with an open mind before condemning the thing as difficult
to use and not intuitive.  

It is different than twinax and it is different than LAN/Ops console.
But it's not going anywhere, so best to learn it because they won't
bring back the old stuff because that's what we're more comfortable
with.

You'll be very very very very happy with your i5!  I'm going to have to
totally second the "no contest" comment on speed.  Also - with tape
drives - if you're going from HVD SCSI to LVD or Fiber, big big
difference.

Your only regret will be not ordering the day they were announced.
Seriously, it's no contest.
