I'm not a marketing guy. Nor (to anticipate the next question) do I get commissions. To my wallet's shame, really. The occasional bonus, yes. I don't speak for IBM here. >Reading between Timothy's lines :-) , I guess he is talking about the >Dallas offerings, which we've already noted are more expensive than the >current FLEX-ES arrangements, and require more effort and external >management than lugging around a laptop. Getting much warmer, but combine with something Alan recommended and you've got the idea. I just found it fascinating/delightful that IBM offers ISVs a 30-day (or 60-day) z/VM-hosted solution for $0 with a price schedule beyond that. Totally random observation, of course. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
