SNIP Yep yep yep. We're looking to move from z900s to z9s, with a small MSU increase, big increase in real, and, IBM-wise, we'll save $600k. Bloody brilliant. I'm in love. Add in SoftwareAG, and the savings is gone, and then some. It is extremely discouraging. We've had several people volunteer their time to rid ourselves of this albatross.
End_of_SNIP Yep, the constant barrage of increases every time we bump up our processors to keep up with demand is hurting the ISVs, as well as us. Funny thing about it, though, are the costs that are associated with other platforms. Last week 11 PALLETS of old PCs and servers and such went to salvage, and that wasn't even all of it! Vendors: heed the call; help us contain costs so we have something to run your software on!
