Is it the "mainframe computer" industry? The "Information Technology" industry"? Or is it for whatever industry a prospective customer is from? Do they have standards for processors? Howard, I can't define any of these things because PSI didn't in their press release. My guess would be Intel's 64 bit processor industry. Or maybe PSI's "open mainframe" industry. :-) Your questions fall right in line with what Steve asked: What is an "open mainframe". Apparently the answer to all these questions is "whatever the writer of the press release says it is."
