That's what my notes say. Mainframe 68% of the work; 6% of the budget (Linux 19%; Windows 11%). Don't have work numbers for the other platforms.

Given the armies of sysadmins to support *nix and windoze platforms, I gotta believe labor costs on these platforms eclipse those of the mainframe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
