RE: Why are you upgrading to IBM i 7.1 and not to 7.2?

System i5 520 here, circa 2008. Boss decided then we should pay cash. I tried to steer him towards a lease, so we could upgrade every 3 years, but he didn't go for it. Now I'm stuck with 7 year old machine that doesn't support the latest OS.

And Navigator performance sucks on this box! :(

Thanks
