Hmm. I must be missing something. Here are the comments you were responding to, I think: On 09/04/2007 at 09:32 AM, "Britz, Anton - CO 7th" said: >I am still not sure why anybody would want to run an IBM operating >system on a PC.

I took that to mean that you were disagreeing with Dave Berry, and saying that Linux on a Mainframe makes more sense than IBM OS on a PC, because Linux on a Mainframe saves millions of dollars whereas IBM OS on a PC does not.
