Good point about the number of machines, Mike

I just got off the phone with one of the maintenance managers for the 
Baltimore County School System. He's been running the same application 
software on OS/400 since 1993. He needed to get a different machine about 
3 years ago due to an application software upgrade because his version of 
the OS would not support the new code. He was running an E45! When I went 
there to install the newer machine, he told me that the old one hadn't 
been rebooted since they installed it.

The M$ weenies convinced the other maintenance groups for the county to 
install a new package (written with Access). He told me that the county is 
having to build a new data center because there is no way they can add 
more servers to the current room with the cooling capacity they have 
there. His iSeries is sitting in a closet next to his office.
