Re: OS/400 command set

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Becasue IBM wants you to go to them for everything.  As of right now, the
iSeries can do nerly everything ... whether it is java, Microsoft, *nix,
OS/400, Legacy code, middleware, new wve web services, etc.

They just don't seem to portray it to well and elt others know that their
systems can do nearly anythign you can conceive of.

IBM needs to fight against the idea that iSeries is "old school".  Which
they sort of are.  They are agressively marketing that the company can do
anything you need ... they just are not specifcying the hardware.  They just
want to get your attention to try to solve your problems and then if they
see iSeries, AIX, Linux, Windows as your answer, they push it.
