We turned our mainframe off yesterday. Z9BC running zOS 1.4 (yes! Had a 1.7 system ready, but there didn't seem any point). I didn't know whether to continue the "More Layoffs" thread, but stuck with tradition. I am fighting redundancy, but not very hopeful. Replaced by SAP on P-Series, a mere $50 million over budget.
Thanks for all the fish. Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
