RE: Problem with 9406-170 shutting down

["Douglas W. Palme" <dpalme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The last quote we received from SL at IBM was just under two grand....I
believe it was $1,870.00.  We did add an additional drive late last year
(about a year old now) and some additional memory but it has gone months
with no reported problems.

We switched from IBM maintenance to a 3rd party outfit.  I not know what it
is costing us, but I have a hard time believing even 1 grand a year, based
on the totals I see for Data Processing in the General Ledger reports I run.
