John, The announcement letter email wasn't just z-series. I used to support p-series hardware and AIX as well, and idle curiosity has kept me getting those announcements as well. They were all included in the e-mail, based on your preferences.

Or maybe they "released" everyone who knew anything about it. IMO, IBM doesn't really care about that much about z anymore. Neither do I. I'll be playing with Linux on Intel when I get kicked to the curb (kerb) come 1 aug 2023. On Tue, May 9, 2023, 11:57 Pommier, Rex <rpomm...@sfgmembers.com> wrote: > Why, IBM?
