Naspa - Technical Support magazine
Does anyone know if Technical Support magazine is still being published ? It stopped about three years ago but I saw that it re-appeared in June last year. Looking at the Naspa web-site it doesn't mention it as one of the membership benefits. I always thought it was a pretty good magazine so I thought it a pity that it stopped. Bye for now, John. -- John Blythe Reid, Técnico de Sistemas de z/OS y de Sistemas Transaccionales, Barcelona, España. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Naspa - Technical Support magazine
I think it is PDF only via the web site. But I don't think it's monthly any more.

Re: Technical Support magazine
I agree, the website it extremely difficult to navigate. When did they change it from the classic 'red' web pages. I found the pubs at the following URLs once I was logged on... http://www.technicalsupport-digital.com/technicalsupport/200704/ http://www.technicalsupport-digital.com/technicalsupport/200703/ etc... Once in their magazine navigator, the archive button gets you links to the other electronic copies.

Re: Technical Support magazine
I just talked to my friend Scott Scherer, who used to run Naspa, and now just works there. He was glad to know about the difficulties. They just went from a format of having a monthly magazine, to putting the articles on their site as soon as they were written. He assured me that someone will be looking into this, and that someone from Naspa should be posting to the list in the next hour or so to clear things up.

Re: Technical Support magazine
Naspa offered a deal for returning members, something like $20 for 20 months, so I took it. They email when new magazines are available. But I am not sure if I will renew when the 20 months are up -- Bruce A.

Since I'm mostly into mainframe communication software I looked at Networking. Not much (if anything) relating to mainframe. (Maybe Web-to-Hose was supposed to be Web-to-Host. ) I gae up on Networking and tride Legacy Systems. Topics: General Mainframe, MVS, OS 390, OS2, VM, VSE. MVS and OS/390, but not z/OS? This is not encouraging.

Gerhard Postpischil Bradford, VT Since I am no longer a NaSPA member I do not have the inside scoop of what they might be doing, nor who they told what. They used to have samples open to the public but it has been far too long ago for me to recall what you had to do to see them. Once they went to the eZine, have you read every issue to keep up with what their plans were? Too often, once written media goes electronic, they put the burden on you to keep up with their changes. When all else fails, contact the publisher directly and have your paid up member id number in hand. Anybody out there still know where members login to read the issues? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Technical Support magazine
Does anyone know what has happened to this publication? The NaSPA site (www.naspa.com) has been transformed into some kind of a web portal, with no sign of Technical Support anywhere. I know that they went to an all-electronic ezine format last fall, but now I cannot even find *that*. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
