RE: What the heck is this AS/400 thing??

DEFINITELY...!

(Although I recommend BestBookBuys (http://www.bestwebbuys.com/books/) and
buying any place OTHER THAN Amazon.  Even the guy that wrote the software
they've patented as "One-Click" is against their anti-competitive patent
policies.  I can look for links, if folks REALLY have doubts about Amazon.

It's akin to BT trying to enforce their patent on the hypertext link (almost
20 years after it's become universally used; VERY convenient way to ratchet
up the royalties...).

| Willow,

|
| Find a copy of "Inside the AS/400" by Dr. Frank Soltis, the
| "father" of the
| AS/400.  The Amazon link is at:
|
| http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D1882419669/103-4625021-6826205
|
| Or "Fortress Rochester: The Inside Story of the IBM iSeries",
| which is even
| newer.  I haven't read this one, so can't tell you if it covers
| some of the same
| stuff which keeps us AS/400 choir members singing its praises...
|
| It is at
| http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1583040838/103-4625021-6826205
