AS400 and whatever it's called now, IBM i I think, is/was/may well be the canines gonads, set it and forget it, a real working black box, I know very little about it except what I just said.

You'd be surprised what you can do with an i these days. All you need for database and web apps on one box, and you don't need to spend £18000 either...

Get yourself a small stack of rackmount jobbies
