Ed, pay attention. John could not have stated it any more clearly : "Of course it's not limited to SHARE attendees." But you come right back and say that it is.
Of course the only people who know about it are SHARE people or someone that has attended SHARE and has told friends. Don't assume that if you don't attend SHARE people are suppose to know about a new offering IBM has. Since IBM as essentially disconnected itself from day to day contact with the user community (call 1-800-..... for service) there is no way (that I have seen) for IBM to communicate with the typical sysprog (let alone most managers). Like I said there needs to be an avenue for communication, personally I think HOLDDATA is the best way. Then it gets to the people who need it the most although I do like the idea of flash's it needs better coverage than what it has been given. Before someone on here mentioned it I had never heard of it. I asked a couple of friends that have been in the sysproging business over 20 years and they had not heard of it either (of course they don't attend SHARE, either). This may be a fluke but somehow I don't think so. Ed
