Add my organization to the list. I'm semi-retired now but keeping the 740 chugging along on a part-time basis. The windoze kids thought they could do a conversion in two years. It has now been four and they're still a year away. Quadruple the staff and add multi-million dollar contracts in perpetuity. Hey, that's the ticket!

We already know that. OS/400 produces little or no services revenue ergo IBM ain't interested. We previously saw a statement attributed to Gerstner: "Manage the decline." Evidence would suggest that's what's happening. Very sad.
