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?

Will the drives stop work on June 30 ?
Will long-term contract terminate prematurely on June 30 ?
Does anybody expected the 3490 will be supported forever ?
Does any *serious* customer still use 3490 for production ?

Are there any alternatives, i.e.
1. Run unsupported HW
2. Buy spare HW as a reserve
3. Get rid of 3490 and start using more "contemporary" HW for tape processing and CD/Internet for software installations.
