How long before a full-suite of Web-based replacement applications are
available, and how long can they hobble along on old hardware and unsupported OS releases? What's interesting about this statement is that to date the USDA has been able to project their development efforts to last decades. As soon as they adopt Java or Microsoft they will be looking to have their software supported up to 8 years (probably more like 5 years) but that is a WAG. What a wakeup call they are going to have if they go that route. This is where RPG on the iSeries would make a great fit IMO. Though they probably wouldn't want to build their next generation app with green screens as that isn't what the next round of users is comfortable with. So I will change my statement to RPG on the iSeries coupled with IBM's yet to be released native GUI - this would be a killer enterprise system/architecture IMO.
