All of our current chargeback is a fixed fee based on platform (z being t
he
most expensive) and diskspace and number of users, just as if it were
another windows box they had to buy. 

If I had my way, there would be a smaller fixed fee for setup based on
memory size, initial DASD and initial user definitions. After that, there

would be monthly bills based on CPU utilization, memory definition change
s
(increase or decrease), DASD occupancy and network traffic.
