Not likely. But "I wish". > Upgrade the cpu Under consideration, but not politically palatable because we too are "getting of the mainframe". > Accept the situation Not likely. > >From what I can tell (from the outside), it is "political" so that a department doesn't need to be told something like: "Our system is at capacity and we have dedicated what we have to ..insert other department..".
