Is she 'black'?

Sure (although there's an old white one gathering dust in the closet), she's a 9401 model 150, V4R4M0.

I do love the AS/400. Did a 2000 conversion on one of them.

I had to do a Y2K conversion on my own code! It took five years of background work (~a million lines of Cobol), but who knew a software project started in 1982 would see the turn of the century?

The AS/400 was all there, compliant. It was moving an MRP/ERP application from a NON-compliant box that aged me 20 years :)

Damned near cured me of IS work.

You're not the only one...

I was original designer and coder on an application that I started in 1982 as well, and it's still going strong. A new update will be released next week or so, with a new state-of-the-art user interface. A lot of the "engine" is still the original stuff, although it was auto-converted from original FORTRAN to "C" in the early 90's, and recompiled as C++ (with suitable cleanup) last year. And it was originally a mainframe application, but now of course runs on PCs under Windows.
