This link causes my browser to immediately redirect to
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/destinationz/index.html
So, if I want to try to bookmark the site, doing it the simplest and easiest way by bookmarking it from the browser after following your link will get the "www-03" variant. Is this redirected address the one IBM intends users to save, or will anything other than your "www" URL potentially break in the future? I seem to recall all sorts of grief in the past with ibmlink internal URLs becoming unusable.

If the "www-03" variant is not intended for long-term reference and IBM doesn't want people saving internal and potentially changeable URLs, it would be extremely useful if primary entry URLs did not do this kind of redirection until the user had an opportunity to view and bookmark a page at the original external URL. Or am I the only one annoyed by this behavior on IBM web sites?
