[plug] OT: AS400

[Mark Bailey]

Thanx Jason for the info. I will give them a ring.
 
Dion,
AFAIK they have been replaced by the iSeries, pSeries etc which I am led
to believe
start at about $20K (don't quote me as this is 3rd hand) and the sky is
the limit.
 
I am really annoyed that I missed an old second-hand one on sold.com the
other day for $255.00

Can anyone entertain my curiosity and tell me what an AS/400 would even
cost these days??

It's been a while since I've done any As/400 work, but AFAIK, Lateral

(in the IBM building, West Perth) and Focal Systems (Hyatt Centre,

Adelaide Tce) are (were?) the only AS/400 development houses in Perth.

They (or IBM) may be able to point you toward someone selling one.  You

may be on to a loser, as at their height (the heady days of the late

80's) there were only 30 or so sites in Perth.

FlexiPlan (London House, St Georges Tce) were in the middle of
decommisioning 

some AS/400 machines throughout last year whilst I was contracting
there, not 

sure if they are still in use or what they have done with them so I
guess 

this is prety useless info but none the less I thought I'd share
anyway...



 Cheers,

Jason
