[1] "A small percentage of V5R1 CDs can have a killer bug" It appears a small number of OS/400 V5R1 CDs have been shipping since May with a bug that could cripple an installation of that operating system. New CDs have been shipped. Even if users haven't experienced any problems, they should still request an update.

Now, you only have to log on to the Web to find such deals. That's right, the U.S. government is auctioning everything from donkeys to seized luxury homes on the Internet. Early returns indicate the strategy is working. The government agency that handles surplus vehicles and office furnishings has racked up $8 million in sales and nearly 60,000 registered viewers. So how much would a donkey be? Between $130 and $1,550 (but they have to be picked up in Wyoming or Colorado).
