Makes you feel good about all that work we've been doing with IBM,
doesn't it?

Absurd indeed! When was the last time one of IBM's mainframe customers
enjoyed a 54-hour maintenance/upgrade outage window?

In all the time I've been doing this, I would never have dared ask for outages
of this magnitude. The worst I ever was part of was a couple 12-14 hour
unexpected weekend days when we didn't have fall back ready. I think that was
also the time after VM and before we did a sandbox LPAR, so we did

I've complained to our IBM account team repeatedly that having IBMLink have
down time during the weekend when we have our changes scheduled is a big
