Button 157 at www.mxg.com/thebuttonman<http://www.mxg.com/thebuttonman> VS2.2 came with a free Measurement Facility 1, but it was No Fxxxing Good, hence this message. At the New York SHARE meeting 18 IBMers came down from Poughkeepsie to meet with members of both the CME Project and the MVS Performance Project, and what had been scheduled for an hour session extended well into the evening, as we went over every field in every record in MF1 and educated the IBMers as to what was needed (like, in the RMF 74 record, we thought that VOLSER would be useful; MF1 had only provided the UCB Address!), Six months later, IBM announced RMF, with almost eveything we asked for fixed, but RMF was no longer free. However, because it was now a product, with revenue, it was no longer a part of the Operating System, where it had been competing with the Paging Supervisor, and the Dispatcher, and all of the other components for staff, and so we began to get the enhancements we had needed, now that we were paying for them directly. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Wednesday, July 6, 2022 6:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Buttons, we got buttons...

LOL, I clearly remember some buttons on a cubicle wall, buttons a coworker had taken home from a sci-fi or possibly software convention (I don't remember). The first one I saw said "This universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for us to grow smarter". Another said "Good, fast, cheap: Pick two". That was in fall 1996; it was the beginning of my tagline file, which you've all been suffering from. --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* ...critics of democracy, including friendly critics, have always pointed out that the Achilles' heel of democracy is its tendency to turn the ballot box into an instrument of plunder, as voters learn to vote for those who promise them other people's money. -Joseph Sobran */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Gabe Goldberg Sent: Monday, July 4, 2022 15:33 Bill Bitner (just retired from IBM Endicott after 36 years 11 months) has a SHARE/VM/etc. button collection. At recent VM Workshop celebrating VM's 50th anniversary, I promised to share mine, send him any he'd like to add to his trove. So here are lots of buttons spanning decades!
