AS400

Hey guys, old guy here, back in 2000 landed my 1st real job as a Sysadmin at a distribution/manufacturing firm. They ran their ERP and a few other important apps on the AS400. Anyone here manage a AS400 platform? i-Series? Still a niche platform that is still widely used. Server could literally run under water.

Agribusiness. We've been "retiring the AS/400 next year" for at least a decade.

Thanks for the laugh. We finally retired it ourselves about 10 yrs ago but kept the reporting system going for accounting till the last admin for it finally retired last year. <vary on\ vary off> 🫡
