RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

["Haase, Justin C." <justin.haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dudes.  Two arms is NOT enough on a system.  Seriously.  I wonder if
it's mirrored and is actually just one arm.  I could max out a box like
that by pressing F10 really fast on a WRKACTJOB screen.  Size your
machine correctly before complaining about performance.

Yes, I agree that disk price is much higher on the iSeries, and out of
line compared to the actual cost now that the controllers no longer have
on-board processors.  But I also do FTP all the time and I don't see the
"grind to a halt" that you speak of.  Besides, how often do you send
these images?  How long does it take?
