I didn't mean to imply that SAS intended to charge extra for a zAAP.
Only that, as OEM vendors start using Java more on the mainframe, they
may decide to charge for a zAAP just as they do for a general CP. After
all, the reason to charge more for a larger machine is that "you are
getting more done" (or some such BS). So, if I write a system which is
20% (to grab a number) written in Java and I change by CPU power,
wouldn't it make sense to charge 20% more if you have a zAAP?
