Not AS/400's, though. I have multiple mainframes *in my house*.

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.
