But most mainframes are set up to be used. Unlike a PC that is sitting idle most of the time, we expect mainframes to be working. If a computer is being used 90% of its capacity, it can't double its workload. (But a lot of new work can be fit in that 10%) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
