There has long been a big complaint in the community that the iSeries is priced out of the hands of small developers.
And in case anyone gets nutty, I used the term "iSeries" intentionally. I agree with Trevor that one should use System i to talk about the new box, I'm just not as evangelical about it. But the historical nature of my post has more to do with the hardware prices of the iSeries; I consider the System i to be the low-cost alternative and as hardware commoditization continues there really won't be a separate box that's specifically an i5/OS machine. In fact, one day you'll just get an i5/OS blade, or even just a virtual i5/OS machine... <smile>
