However someone exaggerated a little: since BOTH z9 and z10 > do have power saving facilities then why IBM said so much about "green" > z10? I think we have to accept that the economics of platforms will be an ongoing matter of competition - so personally I DO care. But I do think it's a matter of overall usage, rather than component usage. So this detailed conversation IS of interest but not so much. And on the "green z10" question I have to ask: What colour WOULD you have liked the stripe to be? :-) (Actually a friend of mine showed me the green swatches in the middle of 2008, having been deeply involved in the colour choice. In 2006 I had suggested to HIM that the colour be green, as a marketing "giggle". :-) ) Martin Packer, Mainframe Performance Consultant, Software Group Worldwide Banking Center of Excellence, IBM +44-7802-245-584 email: [email protected] Twitter / Facebook IDs: MartinPacker Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
