That is also a trend that is regretably changing.

Oddly enough, most of the Native Corporations in Alaska are running
iSeries boxes. I wonder why.......  :-))

Re: iSeries ads taken over by xSeries

I have a friend that has been in advertising since we graduated from
college (30+) and now a CEO-type.  He was, shall we say, disdainful when
I was explaining on what system I program: "Never heard of it."
Naturally, I had to set him right and, up to a point, succeeded.  But
his company has (a farm of?) Windows server(s) and just dumping them for
an iSeries even with an on board Windows server is not something he's
likely to do.

IBM has a huge investment in Linux and Java (and, of course, OS/400).
Plus these seem to be two of the big things these days in the IT
curricula so they're hitting where the grads and "buzz" are these days.
I'm not surprised.

My friend (see above) said I ought to sell iSeries systems, but I think
the truth is that we all should.  I was watching a TV show on the Inuit
(Eskimos) a few days ago.  Not Nanook of the North; use snowmobiles
instead of sleds (at least the part I saw).  Anyway, it made me think of
an ad.

A cultural anthropologist new to the area, apparently, is talking to an
Inuit when another Inuit drives by on a dog sled.  "Oh, that's Caleb.
Got one hell of a Windows server."  Next minute, the sled topples over.
Then another Inuit whizzes by on his snowmobile.  "Oh, that's Joshua.
Got an IBM iSeries server.  Runs, Linux, OS/400, AIX and has an on board
Windows server."  As Joshua zooms over the hill and out of sight, "You
know I've never seen him fall over."
