Indeed, I think Chicagoland is finally experiencing the "nuclear winter" forecasted by Carl Sagan et al, as a consequence of Iraq "torching" all the Kuwait oil wells during the "first war" over there. I doubt seriously that "the mainframe is going away, ha ha"; rather, it is frequently "wearing new clothes" in the form of "penguin tuxedos" and other "non-traditional garb". :-) -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
