Many say it's a fantastic way to centrally manage their systems. But some prefer the "green screen" and fear that with V5R1 it may be on its way out. SOURCE: search400 http://search400.techtarget.com/featuredTopic/0,290042,sid3_gci558481,00.html [2] "Size not a factor for award-winning site" Some analysts and customers say IBM is interested only in selling high-profit, high-end boxes to large companies. As the iSeries encroaches more and more on mainframe territory at the high end, this argument is somewhat bolstered. But an award presented to the Web site of a small retailer by IBM's PartnerWorld for Developers seems to contradict the theory.

Some 1.2 billion instant messages reportedly went over AOL -- that's a record. MSN reported heavy traffic Tuesday and is bracing for more.
