the reliable source was moi...... I told him it was pool1 on one of the machines in Auburn Hills.... I also asked if it was z/VM 420 (ie did they have the ieee hackware on) - yes Also talked to him about ieee and where we stand with the latest 2.4 kernel having just two instructions missing and they are NOT used by either GCC or Dignus system/c compilers..... also asked if he was aware we did IFL....he came back with some qwip about not having enough pocket change....so I told him if he has a CPU and wants to make it IFL we charge 2,500 bucks compared to ibm's 20k bucks..... so he and I have conversed quite a lot privately....
