>And in the mid-to-late 2000's, management still blindly believes in the predictions of said company... Unfortunate, but true. A good friend of mine was hired by Gartner in the mid 1990's. He was doing 'research' on the mainframe vs Client/Server. That consisted of calling me and asking the cost for a typical CICS transaction per second. He was making a buck and a half for doing this! - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
