Actually my 'Conspiracy theory' was meant to be tongue in cheek. I need another 20+ years as a Mainframe sysprog before retirement so it better last at least that long ...
-----Original Message----- Marcia Harelik IBM is not killing off the mainframe. Quite the contrary. What makes you think that? IBM is investing deeply in technology improvements and advancements. There is a continuing role for a server that handles mixed workload and share everything. Just as there are roles for Intel- and UNIX-based servers. Ken Porowski Conspiracy theory: Maybe IBM wants to kill off the Mainframe, they just want to be able to blame it on the users deserting the platform rather than announcing a final end and having IBM desert the users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
