Maybe I don't understand the power of integrated Netfinity stuff, or how
it's really done.  Can you really consolidate 100 Windows servers to one
iSeries?  If so, can it be done cheaply?

One genral-IT mag recently carried an article about the
iSeries, not sure which one, called it "IBM's best-kept
secret, the Server that could", something like, great
article. Not many iSeries ads there though. (Where do they
put the iSeries budget anyway?)
