David,

You might want to check the archives.  IIRC (and ICBW) their was discussion
about an article, within the last year, that stated the US Navy had to
re-boot their daggone Windung servers, in the middle of a training exercise.
Could have been on the IGNITe/400 list, and maybe others will recall the
details better than I.


IMHO, you also might want to check the archives to reevaluate your
definition of "mature and stable".

Operating systems are very much like people in the following sense:  It
doesn't ALWAYS work out this way..  But a 20-year old is normally going to
be FAR more mature and stable than a 10-year old.  I think this is clearly
evident in an objective evaluation of OS/400 vs. Windung.


JMHO.

Cheers,
jt
