Yep - but with one big difference --- HP isn't constantly reinventing the
HP3000.  The AS/400, when it started declining, was targeted as an
E-Commerce Server, and now a Java Platform...  The HP3000 is still the
all-around, great server, with the BONUS of being able to do E-Commerce
(with Apache now, and soon with FastTrack), and does Java too!  (Add to
that, BIND, Sendmail, etc, etc, etc... )

Best Regards,
Joe
