Nothing better to be proud of?
I've heard rumours about catastrophic z9 acceptance, but this is even more
extreme.
The 54-way machines were originally supposed to appear in a later
deliverable. But, so many customers wanted/needed this capability that
they successfully pressured IBM to move up production of those machines.
According to what I heard last week, IBM sold every one they made and
there is still a considerable backlog.
