Re: IBMLink SEV 1 OUTAGE AGAIN!!! #32644395
From: Bob Shannon [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thought you might want to know that this is becoming a bone of contention among SHARE members. I am as frustrated as anyone with the deplorable availability of IBMLINK. However, only the SHARE President may speak on behalf of SHARE. It is not appropriate for anyone else to articulate SHARE's views. A bone of contention simply means a subject of dispute. I would submit that saying it is a subject of dispute among SHARE members is accurate, a statement of fact, and in no way an attempt to articulate SHARE's views. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

I don't speak for Share but I can tell you that something is becoming a bone of contention among the members.

You might get a phone call from his people asking just what is the issue. Like I said, I did. I just got a call from his office. They are taking this as an action item. Sorry I ruffled your feathers.

If not I would suggest finding out how to submit a Share Holders Proposal. If you don't own any IBM stock buy 1 share and you should be able to do so.

Time to B and M at IBM again. Rampant incompetence. Bob, save the comments about how well 3270 is working. You don't need to rub it in to those of us who can no longer get it.

Re: IBMLink SEV 1 OUTAGE AGAIN!!! #32644395
I decided to take a bit of action. Here is the email I sent to Mr. Palmisano: - For years the mainframe was THE machine to have because it worked. Lots of effort went into that, one of the things being that from release to release the quality (RAS) had to improve for hardware as well as software. Now IBM has decided to dump a system that was solid - the 3270 based IBMLink to go to a web based system that just can't seem to run for any length of time without crashing. It has been down all day today. It is IBM's preferred method of problem reporting, but it is unstable. I thought you might want to know that this is becoming a bone of contention among SHARE members. - So gripe here all you want. You can use the IBM web site to make your own comments: https://www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/email-sjp.pl Regards, Steve Thompson -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
