I think the word cheap is deceptive.  We recently shut down 2 as400's
part of the reason is the very EXPENSIVE support charges.  I was even
told that if you don't renew the support the o/s itself will shut down
(I don't know if this is true, but it sounds like something ibm would
do.)

Just my two cents worth.
