Well, given that I am typing this about 15' from an IBM POWER S914 running the i operating system, I'm not sure its lost. Our accountants hate GUI stuff and love the green screen. Its amazing to have what essentially is a low maintenance machine that calls IBM when something isn't correct. We have the last i Series (a pre-POWER model) that lasted for over a decade, and I do expect this one to make it the same amount of time. It is a bit obtuse, but I dearly wish some other OSes would examine themselves for self administration to the level of the IBM i Series.
