Re: *** ADMIN: Wiki spam

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Looks good...my only concern would be for questions that are
historical in nature, such as "what was the original code name of the
AS/400" somebody new to the platform might not know unless they are
techie enough to have dug into one of Dr. Soltis books.  Not everyone
on the platform has been around since the system 36/system 38 :)

Granted, some googling would turn up the answer, but it's not the
first results I got.

Lastly, the "more info" link takes me to a blank page
