RE: RPGIII to get a facelift?

See I don't see that argument as being as valid as it sounds.  That's like 
saying instead of repainting my house because I don't like the colors I'll 
rip down the walls and rebuild them so I can repaint them, only to find 
out that the walls aren't as sturdy as they used to be in the end.  The 
platform is by far one of the best I've seen.  I mean honestly, in my time 
on the iSeries I've never seen one "crash", although I've seen quite a few 
Windows based platforms crash, over and over.

Be careful what you with for. I'm sure (I know) there are sites out
there that are happy where they are. If you forced them to move to a
later release/language (RPGIV) then they may move... To another
platform. 

Look, I'm not arguing that moving off the iSeries would be smart, and
I'm not arguing that that change from RPGIII to RPGIV is a major change,
but you WILL run into people that say "If I have to change, I might as
well change a lot"
