OS/400: There Are Always Possibilities
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Some say you can't learn from other people's experiences, but despite my cynicism about many things, I believe we can, even if they're not real people. I'm talking about learning from science fiction, of course, and like many nerds out there, I've read the classics and seen Star Wars and Star Trek.

IBM Faces Tough Choices to Bring iSeries Channel Back to Health
by Alex Woodie

Gartner Says Server Market Closed 2003 with a Bang
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Despite all the talk of server consolidation, companies around the world are still buying lots and lots of servers. While the growth rates in unit shipments for the fourth quarter of 2003 were not nearly as high as during the peak of the dot-com bubble in the 1990s, shipment growth accelerated throughout 2003, according to preliminary estimates by the Dataquest market research unit of Gartner.
