A predecessor of the AS/400, the System/36 PC was available in very similar chassis to the IBM AT. It used an IBM 5150 ( aka PC ) as the console with a special interface card.

A lot of this goes back to the System/3, which was released in 1969.
System/3 => System 32 => System 36 => System 38 => AS/400 => iSeries.

Go is simply the follow on to Limbo. It is the product of many years of experience supporting the construction of large systems. Most of its roots are from Bell Labs.

Brilliant! A great move to re-establish to covenant between employers and employees. A clear acknowledgement of how important the employees are to the company. I hope they do outrageously well with this.

If my recent experiences with them in regards to DNS is any indicator, their DNS infrastructure is a colossal joke. 4 days to get a reverse DNS entry done? Really?
I wont even mention the typos in some of their SOA records.

In this environment, the power cycles are going to be less stressful than typical, as you won't see the degree of thermal cycling you do in a hot chassis. I'd love to see what the data says a year out.

They were big, heavy, and needed batteries too often. Expensive, too. They are retro-chic now, though. A good specimen will cost you north of $1K.
