That's the great part,  The service pack is cheap,  so it doesn't matter
how many people or how long they take     ;-)

P.S. Humorously --  I was just watching(Just now) Malcolm Haines's  "It
Exists"  video I got on a CD from COMMON,  and it was about setting up PC
servers and how long it takes and stuff and when it got to them walking
over to a different division (across the street)  where they had been up
for weeks with no problems and the person in the Video said "Oh,  We didn't
have any problems we use an iSeries ....."

RIGHT THEN, (Swear to God) My screen froze on my Windoze machine and it
locked up tighter than a(fill in blank).   It remained frozen with that
still-shot on the screen of the lady pointing to an iSeries machine.   I
had to physically turn it off.  Now tell me GOD doesn't have a sense of
humor?

But I feel good about it though,  It's a PC and I have been conditioned to
not expecting it just to keep running without problems for any extended
period of time.
