Thanks for pointing this paper out. I've had people tell me, as I am sure we all have had, that mainframes and PCs are of the same orange variety. I know it is apples and oranges to compare the two and I go ahead with what I know to pint out. But this paper, wow on the detail. This gives me GREAT 'ammunition' in pointing out just HOW different they are and the specs to spout out from memory. :-) Thanks John!
p.s. Yep, a T. Rexx at heart. ________________________________ From: "McKown, John" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, June 17, 2010 10:57:41 AM Subject: FW: System z and z/OS Unique Characteristics very interesting paper!
