Midrange i5s Versus the iSeries, Revisited
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
I did a detailed comparison in early June of entry and midrange models of the eServer i5s to the prior generation of iSeries machines. A lot of things related to i5 pricing changed through a succession of i5 announcements, culminating with the launch of the four-way iSeries Model 550 server. These changes warrant a second look at how the i5s rate against the iSeries, as well as a comparison of how the different i5s stack up against one another. READ MORE >

IBM Offers Deals to Push iSeries and i5 Products
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Since May, the OS/400 community has had to absorb a lot of product announcements, pricing actions, and packaging changes in the wake of the eServer i5 announcements. While the new i5 iron and i5/OS offer considerably better bang for the buck than last year's iSeries models, it still often takes a deal to grease the wheels of commerce. And that is why IBM continues to make little deals here and there on the OS/400 platform. READ MORE >

I read the eBay ad, bookmarked it, and moved on. READ MORE >
