Although I'm fond of Java, I'm not bold enough to make that cost forecast, not as a general prediction anyway. There's some excellent, highly efficient Assembler in the world. Moreover, if it costs $1,000 to save $1/year, that wouldn't be a wise investment as such. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE, Multi-Geography E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
