If the application mix and, more importantly the business needs, are
such that a move to the HP system is viable, more power to them. All too
often, the decision is being made by a PHB that is too busy reading
"airline magazines" to take a realistic look at the costs and benefits
of all available solutions. "Dilbert" is alive and well, and lurking in
every manager's office, just waiting to strike.
Let's face it, marketting representatives don't always tell the truth.
They're like politicians in many ways. And the only time a politician
tells the truth is when he calls his opponent a liar! :-)

What about all those small VM, VSE, etc shops which were running on low end
systems, such as P/390, MP*000, IS, etc. They haven't been able to move to
FLEX for the past couple of years, so where did they move to? I know of
quite a few that have or are contemplating moving to such systems.
