By Jim Keohane Jobs and Woz, eat yer hearts out! Mainframers too can have their very own, personal mainframe development environment in a garage for a paltry $10K per annum! View http://www.t3t.com/tserver-dflyer.pdf. Even better, a full blown 15 MIPS z/OS-loaded laptop for a measly $5K a year! $440 a month! Under $15 a day. Just 60 cents an hour. Yes, a penny a minute. I can see the annoying TV commercials now. View http://www.t3t.com/thinkpad.pdf. T3 Technologies (Arnold?) offers deals on their tServer-D and tTop-D offerings exclusively to members of IBM's PartnerWorld for Developers who are qualified for S/390 benefits. After speaking with T3 Technologies' Steven Friedman, it appears all that is required is a valid IBM PartnerWorld commercial profile. That can be as little as $600 a year. $50 a month. Oh, you get the idea. Join at http://developer.ibm.com. Mr. Friedman will be presenting on FLEX-ES (Fundamental Software's z900 emulator on Intel) at IBM zSeries Technical Conference in Prague on April 23 to 27. A portion of the presentation concerns T3T's products above. Visit http://www.fundsoft.com. Visit http://www-3.ibm.com/services/learning/conf/europe/zseries/index.html. This is a must-have for on-call support staff, for technical stars (as status symbol) and for showoffs who bribe the steward/stewardess to say "Sir, please turn off your mainframe until the plane ..." Visit http://www.t3t.com/PartnerWorld.htm. T3 Technologies will install Red Hat's Linux, FLEX-ES and the IBM Applications Developer CD to your precise requirements on a ThinkPad A21 all set for IPL. The $10K deal is for an IBM Netfinity dual-processor setup. About the author: Jim Keohane ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is president of New York consulting company Multi-Platforms, Inc.
