Perhaps so! [grin} Our new head of "Open Systems" is said to be an AIX bigot. I've heard it said that he wants to replace as many Windows servers (Intel) with AIX servers (pSeries) as possible. Well, it's a start. I've also heard that he would prefer that the main AIX sysadmins be the z/OS people (us'ns) and not the current MCSEs. But that's just rumor. Supposedly he likes our parannoid attitude about doing things that might result in an outage. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
