Bob,

Your not-so-humble-opinion is rather terrifying, and does not match the
opinions of many IBMers and ex-IBMers. You seem to be alone in this FUD.
While many people have been predicting the demise of the AS/400 for a long
time, there is still a strong community of iCustomers who will continue to

from Bob's blog post:
"...In addition to a decline in new sales, there is a significant
decline in the number of shops who are renewing their software
maintenance on the OS...."

Is this factual or not?
