Relative to IBM's reorganization, as reported in: ><http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5itmCjP7yW5p6AcqSoQYLlhBoCS0gD8TUL8UG0> I saw the article. Was especially interested in the remark that: - IBM gets most of its business from big corporations and governments, - but it has been trying to improve sales of services, software and servers - to smaller companies because their technology purchases are growing - at a faster rate. Gee, might that mean that they will be extending z/OS down to the lower end? But my interest rapidly dissippated as I reflected that: (1) There is really no way to know what the reorganization will mean by the time it actually hits the ground. Whatever the end result will be it is sure to be other than you might expect. (2) The announcement is vague enough to be essentially useless for a client to use in planning. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
