Re: Bernie Madoff used an "IBM AS/400" to run his business ...as reported by Fox Business

Yep. They were hiring recently, I was real tempted to apply, but my choices for a place to live are currently too restrictive. I probably should have applied, and then only later considered such stuff if offered a position. I am too polite however; i.e. no reason to waste their time until I am committed to accepting a job if offered.

Maybe you could post an evaluation [even if not in comparison to another such account] about your experience with their product\services. I have thought about getting an account, but having some input might be nice before making the plunge.

Sorry to bring this back up, but I opened a Scottrade account last
month and finally got around to going down to the local office today
to sign some papers and transfer in some stock from another account.

Imagine my surprise when I see the broker pull up a nice green screen
interactive session on his PC to set this up. I said "Is that an iSeries?" and of course he had no idea what I was talking about.
When I finally got him to realize that I was talking about the system
he was connected to and not the box on his desk he clicked "About"
and said "You're right, it says Reflections for IBM."

So maybe the iSeries IS ideal for trading stocks...
