Sounds like the 300 year old ax. The handle was replaced 5 times, and the head 3 times, but it was the same ax. That is the only kind of computer that should have a 10 year life span. But even it shouldn't have a 25 year life span without having its IS functions redesigned. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
