Because of IBM's limitation on eligible models, this can also up your software tier, resulting in an increase in the cost of software and hardware support. IBM TO MIGRATE GREEN SCREEN USERS | eWEEK IBM offers discounts of up to 50% for users who migrate from its AS/400 "Green Screen" applications to its newer eServer iSeries technology by the end of the year. Those who make the move in the third quarter will get similar discounts on software and subscriptions. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ADDITIONAL NEWS HEADLINES All headlines above and below are available on our news page >> Full Stories: http://search400.techtarget.com/news/0,289141,sid3,00.html -- IBM TO SHIFT AD BUDGET FOR NEW CAMPAIGN (Reuters) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- COPY YOUR SCREEN ACTIVITY IN A FILE | Tip: Search400 According to Search400 member Azmat Bhatti, you can copy your screen activity in a file and then use it for presentation or for training material.
