Re: iSeries in the news

These two paragraphs are in the article:


" The AS/400 was like a giant Selectric - indeed, the Application
System/400
is a multipurpose server that's very good at printing. IBM publishes
several
technical overviews for IT professionals known as "RedBooks" on the
AS/400's
extensive printing capabilities and also offers printing and forms design
software for it.

The AS/400, launched in 1988, is one of IBM's most popular servers ever.
Over the years, it has morphed into the iSeries, then the System i, and has
since been merged into the Power Systems line, which provides servers to
companies "of all sizes." At IBM, the AS/400 "is like the Energizer Bunny,"
said a spokesman."

I didn't see what Mr. McMahon's background was to really know what was
going
on with the server(s) at this location let alone the applications
etc.(maybe
he wasn't even qualified to have been hired??) Maybe Tom Granahan could
write a re-traction and then a new article highlighting the true
capabilities of the I5 server I mean (selectronic).

It's amusing...the iSeries gets such a limited amount of press exposure
(besides the trade mags) that we jump all over some schmuck writing an
article.

"I asked myself how Bernie could have hidden and maintained this for
so
long. A lot of it was done because he had proprietary and legacy
systems.
And he relied on IT people he hired and paid" to not upset the status
quo,
says McMahon.

This is so bogus. Total Ignorance.
Mr. McMahon, I have worked on the Iseries for over 20 years and had
to
leave
when I was laid off and couldn't find a new job with it. Now I work
on
SQL
Servers.

Quick and dirty data fudging can occur just the same. it's even
easier
with
plain SQL Server Sudio updates that don't necessary leave any trace.
At
least, DFU produces a report.

What a farce.
