Java, .NET on iSeries Programmers Minds, RPG in Their Blood
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
In April, we polled the readership of our OS/400 newsletters about their programming preferences and the composition, by language, of the applications at their shops. RPG may not be the only language in use at OS/400 shops, which also have lots of Windows servers and a smattering of Unix, Linux, and other platforms, but it dominates.

Worldwide Server Market Perked Up in Q1
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

However, the rise of the entry server market (fueled, it seems, by small businesses buying their central machines, as well as larger enterprises moving to clusters) has counterbalanced the decline in high-end sales.

As I See It: On-Demand Values
by Victor Rozek
