We would HAVE to mention just how many "reincarnations" the AS400 has gone
through from its inception, to its current "use" of E-Commerce Server.  It
just cannot compete, so to protect their (IBM's) investment, they keep
having to find new uses for the boat anchor ;)

I like the idea, but if the shirts that they would make us wear are anything
like Chicago's - which were really nice (I still wear mine ;) - but boy,
were they hot!  They do make great collector's items though :)  Sign me up
for booth duty ;)
