I just got this announcement that the 3490-F1A (and others) will be going off maintenance services on June 30, 2007.
It seems to me that 3 months is rather short notice that you can't get service from IBM (I know you can probably get 3rd party maint). What if you have a long term contract? Am I misunderstanding something? I checked the Announcement letters and saw no other reference to dropping maint. http://www-306.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/3/897/ENUS907-053/ENUS907053.PD F Periodically, IBM provides notice to customers of plans to terminate maintenance services for machines under an IBM Agreement. At this time, we are providing notice that machine type 3490, models FC0, F00, F01, F1A, and F11 will be discontinued from maintenance services, effective June 30, 2007. IBM will send no further correspondence of this nature for these machines.
