IAN: I wish you luck but honestly do not think you will come close. I am sure IBM doesn't want a really complete list out there. If anyone would come close it would be an interesting map. With employers being so heavy handed, I would expect an inner office memo to come out and indicate that NO ONE should tell any one about the installation.
Off the top of my head they would be worried about head hunters coming in. I guess the secondary might be issues with security and maybe a few side issues. I once worked at a place they had two locations and each had two computers (although from little we were told) only 2 licenses for the company the others were "DR". I am not sure how you would count that place(s) physical cpu's or licenses. Certainly not by personnel as the second place only had operators (no systems people). They recent changed and they still have two locations but I have no idea as to physical CPU's.

Seeing that I started it a couple of weeks ago from scratch it is by no means a complete list. At that time I was not aware of Phoenix Software's list. I did receive emails from folks with more to add, and some folks added locations themselves. (thank you all!). It is slow going because I'm a sysprog first then a web admin. I do all of this on my free time and with the money I can spare because I think it may benefit the community at large. So I'm very dependent on community involvement, and I hope that someone will benefit from my efforts.
