Seymour J Metz said, "How do I know that yopu exist?" (sic)
I felt I had to reply to this. Contrary to your somewhat puerile comment Seymour, Timothy DOES exist. I have had some excellent advice from him over the years which didn't necessarily involve purchasing more IBM H/W and/or S/W. I would also venture that Timothy knows much more about the ''real" world of mainframe computing today than you do. (Even your web link doesn't work!) My apologies to Darren for this rant. Sometimes, Seymour does make idiotic comments. Cheers!
