AGREED! (in spades!) <snip> The question at hand is why IBM would completely remove access to a working, proven method of research and knowledge verification of *reference* material for the experienced practitioners in the field, in favor of a new and yet unproven technique that does not necessarily even work for the new "culture shift" technicians to whom you refer.
IBM does themselves and all their customers a complete disservice by forcing everyone to use such a new, and currently unstable and ill-formed, knowledge store. See also the many, many complaints about the instability and frequent unavailability of the electronic software delivery service for z that regularly appear here and elsewhere. New is not necessarily better. It's just new. It is not that we old dogs cannot learn new tricks. It's just that when the new tricks don't do the job that needs to be done when the business depends on it, there must be a backup method available to get the job done. There is not any backup at this time, and that is the real problem. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
