Wow, that's hard to believe--it seems like it was just yesterday! The perils of 
aging, I  guess...

But is it really "Hapy Birthday" if it's been subsumed? A theological question.

Subject: Happy 20th Birthday to zAAP

As previously reported back in 2004, the first customer production use of zAAP 
(the System z Application Assist Processor) went live on September 1, 2004. 
Which was impressively speedy because it occurred more than 3 weeks before the 
earliest release of z/OS to support zAAP (z/OS Version 1.6) became Generally 
Available - and barely 2 months after zAAP (the hardware feature) was 
introduced. IBM discontinued zAAPs several years ago because their functions 
were fully incorporated into zIIPs.

Happy 20th Birthday, zAAP!
