Not funny VAX.
I still use and am a fan of IBM PS/2's. So are a couple others on
here. A few still use IBM RS6000 machines and one or two use
AS/400's. Please watch the generalizations...

GOTCHA- you need to make sure your machine comes with
not only the OS, but also
the mashine-specific intermediate layer
software. Unless you have a friend at IBM, they may be happy to
give you a replacement in return for much cash, or they may do the
snooty Maitre d' thing . . . and OS/400 is rumored to lock itself
after a certain period of inactivity as well.
You have found the reason why there are so many DEC fans and no IBM
fans on the mailing list.
