I still don't think anyone would buy a System z because of it's sheer

The question
Would anyone buy a z/Architecture machine just for its sheer processor
speed?
seems to me to be a very different one from the question
Would anyone buy a z/Architecture machine/mainframe "for its sheer
processing power"?
Unless you two are prepared to formulate your positions carefully enough so
that we can have a clear notion of what you are disagreeing about, this
thread is going to continue to generate much heat and no light (and should
be killed).
