I disagree. The strength of the System i is not that it can run PHP or
Java or BRMS or LPARs...those are all good points, but IMO it's not
enough. We have to show integration with the LOB apps that are already
running on System i. The combination of the old and the new is what
makes System i unique, and it's what justifies the price increase. I
can get that stuff (maybe not all of it or maybe not the same
combinations) on other platforms at a lower cost with the same
price/performance. But I can't get that an be able to run my RPG ERP
app too. We need to leverage our strengths - integration of the old
and the new is ours.

If you want to sell something, you'll have to talk about all the things that
are good and new on the System i5. It's best to ignore legacy technologies like
5250 or RPG in such discussions, and talk about them like the died a long time
ago.
