LOL. That's why I "quoted" it. :-) But ask yourself how much of the architecture itself is "real". What is objective reality? Are any of us really here? How do you know? Cognito ergo sum? Does anyone really know what time it is? Does anyone really care? :-) I define "real" as those services provided by the box, sans z/VM. "Virtual" are those services provided by z/VM, whether produced by a nebulous cloud of 1s and 0s or by sharing/using underlying "real" services. Or sometimes we separate simulation from virtualization. Unless, of course, the point is better made by calling a "real" service "virtual". It depends. :-) [1] But, bottom line, "when I use a word ... it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."[2] ;-) Alan Altmark IBM [1] Note to self: In the future, do not think about such things (a) before 10am, (b) after 1am, and (c) without having appropriate medications on hand.
