Hey Linda, absolutely no offense taken! (I have no idea how you might think I might have) Anyway, I appreciate your comments.
As for my comments about the platform, I did say that "I find it really odd that this is the case". I love z-series, its been a big part of my life for over 25 years...almost 20 of the years with IBM, so, in no way was I knocking IBM...I've been involved in countless sales situations on both hardware and software. (so now you know more about me!) Take care. Oh, and looks like there is another post with some interesting information that might be useful for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
