Agreed - $120 is something affordable by most, and I'm really excited to see this coming out

It's *SIGNIFICANTLY* more approachable than the $5k entry point for other options for professionals from IBM. It seems as if the announcement on IBM's site may have been slightly premature (O(weeks)) as it has purportedly been withdrawn and someone else in the community has said that it should be available in mid October. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how this rolls out. I love the idea of having an IBM supported way to run contemporary z/OS along side my well seasoned P/390-E. :-) -- Grant. . . . unix || die ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ________________________________ Warning: All e-mail sent to this address will be received by the corporate e-mail system, and is subject to archival and review by someone other than the recipient.
