I generally agree, except that it appears that many (most?) though probably
not all of these hercules users running z/OS or other licensed OSs appear to
be IBM employees.  I'm no lawyer--would they have a licensing problem? 
Running DEMOPKG (sp?), which seems to be designed for this.  Perhaps they
don't have it in their budget to get a FLEX-ES laptop.  Whatever the excuse,
 it should would make it easier to demo, say, WDz on a laptop.
