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

Don´t you think they should let you choose?  Once before you had the
Server's vs. The Standard's.  You could choose according to your
environment.  Now, It's seems like, buy the server and if you want the
Interactive one, pay some more.

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.
