IBM has announced the new generation at the top of its range ever since the 370/165.
This time, it has been suggested, large and small might come closer together than has been normal - perhaps a half year gap. What interests me is the physical granularity. Will the new packaging allow the production of genuinely smaller machines with low prices accompanied by lower productionn costs and thus more profit and interest by IBM - as distinct from knee-capped versions of larger machines with high production costs? -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.co.uk +44 7833 654 800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
