hell, yeah, that's what i'm talking about

OY · 01-29-2007, 04:44 PM

LOL I bet most peeps here have NO IDEA what an AS/400 is or what it actually did.

OzMan · 01-29-2007, 04:44 PM

it does indeed

and never mind 15 years ago... lots of companies still use it. Most of the casinos in Vegas still do or just recently upgraded

Because it was a mainframe, the colors/looks depended on the type of dumb terminal you interfaced it with. I used Decision Data dumb terminals, personally.

before AS/400 i worked with Siemens BS2000 mainframes, and they had mostly white screen terminals, like Atari ST. at least where i worked.

although - i also remeber terminals with orange font

but all IBM terminals i worked with always had black screens with green font - even the virtual terminal emulation we later used on PCs

Heh, I was on the IBM Systems 34, 36, and 38 before the AS/400. The 34 was using a WYSE terminal, which had the amber ("orange font") text. When I went to the System 36, my world went green .. ha!

I remember coding in RPG and all that funky shit .. gah.

I knew this skin seems somehow familiar! Yeah, I worked on a System 38 starting in 87, then an AS/400 for 10 years after it came out. I met John Sears and asked for his autograph! I thought he was GOD!

I wrote a system of about a million lines of code for a company in the 90's that is still in use today.

Don't miss that shit ONE BIT!

This is true... I worked for the company that developed those systems.

bobby666 · 01-29-2007, 10:42 PM

like the good old 3270 terminal

KrisKross · 01-29-2007, 11:01 PM

Ugh. Do you know how many companies still use mainframe emulators? I know of at least two Canadian banks that are currently using AS/400 emulators.

the Shemp · 01-29-2007, 11:56 PM

yup, its like our old corporate private message system from the 80's..

SteveLightspeed · 01-29-2007, 11:59 PM

I actually had my own AS/400 in my home office for about 4 years, until 2000.

Fizzgig · 01-30-2007, 12:57 AM

AS/400 sounds like a camera setting to me.

Andre · 01-30-2007, 01:40 AM

You just dated yourself - old man!

v4 media · 01-30-2007, 01:46 AM

Damn, that's old skool.. I used to use them working in a bank in the early 90's

NewbieNudes · 01-30-2007, 02:28 AM

I used to sell AS/400 CRM software :S

Yuck

i've been working for a medical wholesaler for 5 years - and they still work with an AS/400 and dumb terminals today. and why should they change, the system is rock solid. you'll never get the same performance and stability with something like "Windows".

Klen · 01-30-2007, 10:05 AM

I dont have IBM terminal but i do have IBM computer.And it working great and it is old 10 years even more.

Hehe .. I'll be 28 in a month or two. I started working on them when I was 12, as an illegal summer job.

I made a quarter for every ream of paper I make it spit out, report-wise.

Yeah, I had a model F10 here, because it would plug in to a 110 volt plug, unlike the System 36, which was 220.
