thnks ... my (lack of correct) typing/spelling is well documented. after getting blamed for online computer conferencing on the internal network in the late 70s and early 80s ... some past posts on internal network (was larger than arpanet/internet from just about the beginning until sometime late 85 or early 86): http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#internalnet ... a researcher was paid to sit in the back of my office taking notes on how i communicated ... got copies of all incoming & outgoing email as well as logs of instant messages ... also went to meetings (including notes on telephone conversations, face-to-face meetings in office, group communication, etc). the result was internal corporate research report as well as stanford phd thesis (joint between computer ai and language departments) was well as material for some number of papers and books there were also stats like I avg'ed email exchange with approx. 275 different people per week for the nine month period. misc. past posts mentioning computer mediated communication http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#cmc references to some (posted) old email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html as to (loosely-coupled/cluster) locking/serialization ... some of it comes from peer-coupled shared data ... some past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subnetwork.html#shareddata which my wife had done when she had been con'ed into going to POK to be in charge of loosely-coupled architecture. she didn't last long because of lots of resistance ... including battles with sna group over requirements to use vtam for loosely-coupled operation (there were temporary truces when it was allowed she could use anything she wanted within the boundary walls of machine room ... but vtam had to be used for anything that crossed the walls of the machine room). Other than IMS hot-stanby ... there was little uptake until sysplex ... which also contributed to her not remaining long in the position. -- 42yrs virtualization experience (since Jan68), online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
