John,

I especially liked the phrase "IBM's leading edge iSeries 400
architecture"...:-D  I don't recall the press using it much in the past..
certainly not as much as it could...

| Isn't this nice to read a product review (not in an iSeries Mag BTW)  that
| has some of the Good points of the iSeries highlighted.
|
| I like the Statement :
|
| "Unlike PC-based systems, which the Dover Downs had previously employed,
| the iSeries is very fast..."
