They've just (today) announced obsolessence of the z/900 (sales - June; upgrades - October). And, the z9 is upgradable from the z/990. So, I wouldn't worry for awhile. If you need it, get it. If you can, wait. - -teD I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the universal panacea I believe in! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
