RE: Happy Birthday to the AS/400, iSeries, System i, IBM i

Yeah - that's a big one. Loading those early release drivers each week from about 16 1/2" inch reels on a 9347 tape drive, cleaning the drive between each tape, and STILL having it die once or twice during the install forcing you to start over from the beginning. Fun times, NOT. :-)

How about no more weekly PTF tapes? Those were ugly times.
On the other
hand, we were a beta site, so we were warned ahead of time.

I'm two days behind in reading midrange-l....just read
a post (6/17)
with a comment about the birthday celebrating the
"name" AS/400.

It's the technology, how it has evolved, and what it
has become that we
celebrate! It is the product and it's capabilities
that we celebrate.
Not the name!

There will be a celebration in Rochester and the
appropriate IBM AS/400
thru IBM i executives will be on hand to help celebrate.

I'd love to see a list of what you think are the
coolest changes in this
product since it was announced in Toronto at COMMON in
1998.
