We bought a new iSeries to replace our > 10 year old iSeries. It does the accounting and we expect it to last another 10+ years. The backups are easy and the service is quick. The accountants did not want to consider another solution.

The iSeries is a fascinating machine. It was, when introduced, years ahead of anything else - virtual ISA, single-level storage and OS-level integrated DB/2 RDBMS - and, in many aspects, it still is (Apple's Newton is the only other platform I remember that has single-level storage).
