Thanks Bob. We had a 3590 base unit at my last job. I think the z/OS 1.9
order came on 3 tapes, which was nice. By the way, when I started there,
they had 16 3490E drives, and a big area filled with tape racks. Over the 6
months I was there, they converted all the tapes to 3490s, got rid of the
drives, and the tape racks. They hadn't installed the pool or ping pong
tables yet though!
