In many cases, the replacement hardware/software also comes from IBM (pseries/AIX/Shark/DS4000 in our case). Why in the world would IBM want to warn customers in advance how much it's going to cost to get rid of the "expensive mainframe", when they stand to make far more as the customer keeps rolling in more "cheap servers"? -- Matt Simpson -- z/OS Support 219 McVey Hall -- (859) 257-2900 x300 University Of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506 http://jms.cc.uky.edu/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
