Subject: operating system upgrade
We currently have an I520 at V5R3. We were planning to upgrade to a new
machine this spring, but due to the current economy we have decided to
wait a year. I understand V5R3 is being sunsetted in the near future.
Is there any potential danger in running the way we are for another 12
months, without upgrading the operating system? I need to put my
manager's mind at ease (hopefully) on this issue.
