Timothy Prickett Morgan is president of Guild Companies and editor in chief of their IT Jungle publications. He's been keeping a keen eye on the midrange system and server markets for 15 years and was one of the founding editors of The Four Hundred, the industry's first subscription based newsletter devoted to the IBM AS/400.
