Re: AS/400s being auctioned at Egghead.com

["Roger Pence" <rp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

AS/400's pop up all the item on auction sites. Check out this Model 150
(bundled with OS/400) on eBay (there are always several AS/400-related
things on eBay).

Today, one guy even has a $36 bid for a V4R4 softcopy library! Hey debadda,
bidababbaa... V4R3 for $30.... going once, going twice...

> What would you do with the AS/400 without the OS, and is there a process
for buying the OS independantly?
They make great space heaters and white noise generators.

> Is the lack of an OS why the bids are so low???
I've wondered that too. That has to be the reason, right?
