RE: WRKSYSACT(Is IBM trying to kill green screen on the AS/400?)

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would say it's not a big deal. Most of the interactive CPW is more than
you'd have now.  Plus things are just faster all around.

the eMachines are made for web serving, C/S, etc... so they juice up the
Batch CPW.  Still plenty for interactive, I would say.
