RE: Thinking about "paperless"

From: Richard Schoen

Also, we support storing docs in the IFS or on ANY Windows or Linux
server/NAS/SAN. More and more people are opting to store the database
and indexes in DB2/400 on the iSeries and store the actual documents on
less-expensive disk.

This is a really good point, Richard. Since you can pick up a gigabit
Ethernet server with a terabyte RAID and hot swap for under $1000, it really
begins to make sense to use cheap disk for static information.
