Trausti Thor Johannsson's response (which is currently at the top there, but might not be later) includes "[Java] not only made Mainframe computers not die but made them very useful." I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim that Java saved IBM Z, nor that it's a major use case. Yeah, it's there, but even with zIIPs and zAAPs it's not all THAT common, is it? Or have I just been working with the wrong sort of customers? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
