Re: Why can't we eat our own cooking?

I agree. We should be able to do this on i. Cost of course is an issue. Now we at Frankeni.com DO eat our own cooking, all of our stuff runs on Frankie. He is of course a loose collection of old parts!

It would be very cool if IBM would kick in even a scratched up old 520 for David to use. I have asked in the past but so far 'deaf ears'.

The issue of "need" is all in my head. David has everything up and running, it seems.
It just seems that if the System i is such an all-fired great machine that it should be able to compete in some way with what David, and others, are using.
Gosh, if we System i bigots can't make a case for using the System i in this very real-life situation, then how can we expect normal people to choose System i?
In other words, can we eat our own cooking?
