Our AS/400 is aging.  It will be gone soon.  Everything is in place for when
that falls.  Now I just need and OSS ERP system.

Seriously, I have been able to use ECS to build some get web tools and like
I said, I almost don't notice the monster that holds our data.  Java and
tools like JDBC and ECS let me create tools that will be relevant for a long
time and throughout system changes.
