Too true! This is why my main "techie fix" any more is Linux running on an AMD64. If IBM, for what ever reason, thinks that I don't need to know their hardware and/or software on a technical level, then I will accomodate them. If I could find a "reasonable" (FSVO reasonable) job supporting Linux, I'd abandon z/OS this minute. If I were the type who wasn't interested in the "bits and bytes", then I'd go i/5OS on an iSeries. Wonderful box, from what I can tell. Absolutely "black box" on how it works internally. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
