We finally convinced our customer (30 sites) to convert from 433 to 5.2.
They should be done in a few months.
We can't afford to support multiple levels of the OS. Its bad enough that
application changes have to be tested on multiple H/W levels, and microcode
levels, let alone multiple OS levels.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Subject: How long are you sticking with 433?
Like many sites, we still have some AIX 4.3.3 systems. In most cases we
have definite plans to replace or upgrade these to 5.1, but there are still
a few which are a bit up in the air. Mostly these are applications which
are expected to be retired, but you know what that's like: they can drag on
for years. But whilst that's still the official plan people are reluctant
to spend money on AIX5L licences. (It may not seem like a major expense,
but some of my customers make Scrooge look like a spendthrift.)
What are your thoughts, experiences and plans regarding 433 systems? Does
it worry you or are you happy to continue with them for the foreseeable
future?
