Hey Don (mr. 1988),

Do you ever want to SELL a new server? How does calling it an AS/400 help
sell new systems?

While you call it an AS/400, there is no ~reality~ of a viable future.

Hey, Joe (aka AS/400...),

If you were to base how many people KNEW who you were and USED your
products/services as a function of your known name, you would have between
8-14 times as much business as the iseries and system-I folks combined -
based on how Job Want Classified Ads are currently worded. This data is
accurate as of TODAY...

So, the theory would be that you'd have 8-14 times as much work and revenue
stream as someone else... :)

Just a simple observation of reality...
