Do you need someone to take transcriptions in sanskrit as well? ;-)

last time i saw one of those was a very long time ago, running mapics, 8x24 monitor and a clicky keyboard (i still use clicky keboards and have 4).

are they still a 'mini-computer' type setup?

OS/400 now runs on the same hardware as AIX (or Linux for Power), I actually still have two systems at work licensed to run it, but no OS/400 partitions were ever created on them. It could be added to some of the other systems we have, but there's no reason to anymore, everything got migrated over a decade ago.

Only if it was to obliterate a computer to cover your tracks after writing some really BAD code.

LOL, the current perception, certainly. And programmers are getting harder to find. Young kids don't realize what a great Operating System it is, with native support for Java and PHP, as well as a killer c compiler. We use RPG/free which is a c-like free form format now. And the machines are more stable than any OS in the world. We realized that we had not rebooted one of our boxes for about a year and a half... They just RUN.

Our credit card processing software hooks into MAPICS (and most other ERP apps). They are still the same central computing system, ultra reliable and scalable. The ratio of computing power from the smallest to the largest is around 80,000. Still 80x24 for most "green-screen" applications and a specific keyboard designed by IBM after decades of research to be the mot productive for order entry and general computing in the world.

They developed CUA - Common User Access standards that gave us F1 for help, and F5 for refresh, Tab to navigate fields, and more, that we still use today. Can't do data entry faster on a GUI.

MANY large companies rely on them. CocaCola, NY Life, Home Depot, MIT, Johns Hopkins, most universities and colleges. Many cool companies like Hornady, Century Arms, Lyman, Smokey Mtn Knife Works, Frost Cutlery, Chattanooga Shooting Supply, Sunbelt Rentals, who all use my software.

These days, a lot of GUI apps use the system for their back-end processing.

J, that would be great. I could never affor YOU, anyway, 6Sigma, and all.

We need a good coder, RPG primarily. PHP would be a nice plus.
