I also have old notes for SHARE that say:

  Society to Help Avoid Redunant Effort

According to a fairly recent article I read describing the founding of SHARE 
at the Rand Corporation in 1955, SCIDS = SHARE Committee for Informal 
Discussion Sessions. Now, if I can just remember exactly where that article 
was...

Re: web IBMLINK down again -SEV1 32656350

2007-07-31 Thread Steve Ware

Here's what Mark Fyffe said today in reply to notes I've
sent him (and others) regarding IBMLink 2000 outages:

From: Mark Fyffe [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Steve,

There is a great deal of focus on the problems.  There have been some
short term steps taken with each problem that has arisen and there is
a long term plan which is in the process of being approved.  In the
meantime we will continue to provide access to the 3270 interface
until the stability of IBMLink is acceptable.

I understand the frustration and can assure you this has the highest
level of attention.

and I won't say the other comment, I promise.


This habitual non-availability of the intended sole customer interface
to IBMLink has gone so far past ridiculous that an adequate adjective to
describe it does not yet exist in the English language.  I received an
automatic notification of an update to an open PMR yesterday, and so far
have not been able even to sign in to IBMLink on the web (our
3270-interface accounts expired many moons ago) to read the update.
The nature of the PMR does not yet warrant a phone call to IBM.

Perhaps the time is coming for influential customers to start demanding
rebates of a portion of their subscription fees for IBMLink.  Its
consistent non-availability via the intended interface should not be
tolerated.

Re: z/OS 1.8 Features

OpenOffice.org Impress easily allows one to prepare presentation
material and natively store in PDF format.  File - Export as PDF
in OpenOffice.org Impress - been using it for years in Linux.
(Import of SHARE .ppt templates works well, too. ;-)

OK I missed some hidden annoyance that you have against adobe. But it is at

Whether he might have an aversion against Adobe or not, his answer was 
strictly factual in this case. To my knowledge, there is no application to 
prepare presentation material that would natively store the material in PDF 
format.


I have used Lotus Freelance and I'm now using MS PowerPoint, both are using 
proprietary formats to store the presentations. You then use an Adobe plugin 
or Acrobat Distiller or some other tool to create a PDF file for distribution 
of handout material.
