Stepping aside from what Zowe the architecture consists of, could we at least agree up front how to say it? (The confusion over 'Linux' went on way too long.)
When Zowe was introduced to SHARE in St. Louis, the authors allowed that they wanted a homophone of the given name Zoe, but that spelling was not available for trademark. But it was how it was meant be pronounced. It does not rhyme with 'Howie'. If you're still fixated on what Zowe means at heart, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoe_(name) . .

Depends on if they have server experience beyond Windows, then there can be a frame of reference. Otherwise, I prefer to use an example based on playing multi-player console/PC games. You can go local or remote, it doesn't matter, but how can one box have 4 people play at once? How can the same game be played by 40 people across the world? Just slam your head against something hard, so you don't get into any detail and stick with concepts. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of scott Ford Sent: Friday, January 04, 2019 3:13 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Zowe?
