[rescue] AS/400s

[Kevin]

That sucks.  I don't know much about the AS/400 or iSeries
hardware (or any IBMs for that matter), but from what i have read
they look to be very interesting.  I had hopes of one day
acquiring one to learn on, but if it's that much of a PITA to get
the OS, there's not much point.
