>If all other things are equal, the cost per CPU second for a machine with two processors is half the cost per CPU second of a machine with one processor. Voodoo mathematics. If I start a second processor, I have to at least pay for the hardware upgrade and increased s/w costs. So, I don't understand/agree with your statement. <SNIP> OK, all you guys are right. There is no way to do charge-back accounting. All the formulae are wrong regardless of what they are. All these circus bureaus have been defrauding their clients, all the publicly held companies that are doing charge-back are somehow cooking their books. So the NT/*nix guys have it right. The mainframe people get their knickers knotted for no reason and can't justify their concern for 408 cpu seconds being used, etc. etc. Later, Steve Thompson -- All opinions expressed by me are my own and may not necessarily reflect those of my employer. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
