Scott -

I agree with your point about not really getting what you want by asking the 
question here, but I think you'll get less of an honest, informed answer other 
places.  I know from my experience that all of my Windows-related programming 
buddies turn their nose up at the AS/400 and are ignorant about it.  I've said 
it many times before that when I went back to school to learn the AS/400 they 
all, every one of them, told me the 400 was dead and I was wasting my time, if 
they'd even heard about the 400.  Well in the past 5 years I'm the only one of 
them who's been employed every single day!

It's a darn shame IBM hasn't invested the money into showing off their prize.  
Even Mercedes runs commercials!
