Well, it's not really very obvious to me that you can
find other AS/400 resources by following that link.  I
was under the impression that netshare400 was basically
an AS/400 timeshare service.

Furthermore, at www.netshare400.com, I can't find any
links to any other AS/400 resources.  (Only a search
button!)

At the very least, why not offer an obvious link to
either of http://www.wormhole.demon.co.uk/links400nf.htm
or http://www.news400.com/shareware/rtvList.cfm both of
which offer fairly complete lists of links to other
AS/400 related web sites?

Well, personally, I think it's only common courtesy to
offer reciprocal links.  Do you really think there
should only be links INTO your web site?  If someone
arrives at your web site and doesn't find quite what
they're looking for, don't you want to make things
easier for them?
