Which doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I said.  Even if I could 
get a license for Flex/ES to run those systems on my laptop, (or Hercules in 
the case of mainframe Linux) they would be running on top of an Intel-based 
Linux distribution.  If I'm going to have that to start with, why in the world 
would I want to run Linux/390, just to be able to do email, OpenOffice, etc?    
And while someone might want do to it for sales purposes, that audience is also 
very small compared to the number of people that don't want to do that.  So 
again, the numbers for non-mainframe systems are always going to be predominate.
