My two cents: 1. Amdahl and TIDA is AFH. 2. Phil Payne has thoroughly explained why PSI does not have a viable economic model. 3. FLEX-ES is alleged to have violated its agreement with IBM. No one will ever know what action IBM would have taken had FLEX-ES not partnered with PSI. 4. IBM introduced the P390, the MP3000s, and then the FLEX-ES machines. That doesn't sound like they're trying to kill off ISVs. There are however, significant issues trying to find a viable, small, zArchitecture environment. 5. Personally I wish IBM would allow developers to use Hercules. 6. Although this may be an interesting, albeit tedious topic, all interested parties should work with IBM through the vendor partnership instead of making noise on IBM-MAIN. Nothing will get resolved here.
