Withdrawn from marketing just means you can't buy a new 9037 from IBM
anymore. You can still buy them on the open market, if anyone has one for
sale. IBM will still support the 9037 until they announce that they won't
support it anymore. And then, you can still get 3rd party support. I know
when I worked at P&H Mining, we had lots of old equipment that IBM didn't
market and some that IBM wouldn't support. That didn't stop us from using
the old equipment and saving money with it.

I think that "withdrawn from marketing" also means that if I order a new
z/9 after December 06 that I can't order the timer connection feature to
allow it to connect to the 9037's that I have now.
