All this "why so fast" speculation reminds me of my dearly departed mother. For my birthday she presents me with 2 gifts, a red shirt and a blue shirt. I try on the red shirt, and she asks, "what's the matter, you don't like the blue shirt?"

I think it is matter of development. Sometimes changes are minor - like new cards, even new features (STP) or "turbo" sub-generation (z/900 2xx). Sometimes is is new model, because the changes cannot be implemented in existing one. Is it too frequent for you ? Then stay with old machine. Why status of competition should influence frequency of changes ? -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul. Senatorska 18 00-950 Warszawa www.brebank.pl Sd Rejonowy dla m. st.
