>But "The Company Line" is probably the last thing we want to hear, whether it's right or wrong
I agree. Especially when it doesn't match reality. We are NOT paying less! We are NOT exploiting JAVA/WebSphere on the mainframe. We do NOT have any workloads that can exploit NAlc, as I understand the announcements. We are NOT going to z9 any day soon. We are NOT the only customer in this situation! If I wanted to hear the company line I'd sign on to www.IBM.com. . Questions? Concerns?
