We were lucky to have what we did have. Only because the bank wanted to continue to run Alltel/Fidelity banking software did we even get a mainframe. True, the majority of mainframes don't crash as much as the MP3000 we had. Heck before we got bought out our CIO was thinking of trying to get the MP3000 returned as a lemon.
