Artical should be read 'zNEXT'
http://www.sys-con.com/node/1453414 Some information about the new Z machine(S). Systems people! buckle you belts. For some the ride over the last few years has been tough but it looks like it might get even worse should this article stand to have some teeth in it. Some might have already have additional information about these machines, care to share?
Re: Artical should be read 'zNEXT'
I will be somewhat nasty. The author of that piece is, IMO, an idiot. Not from this article, but from articles she has written about the SCO vs. IBM lawsuit. As well as the ad hominem attacks she has made about PJ from Groklaw. Now, I think a blade server that could run zarch, power and x86 in a single box would be fantastic.

Hmm...Anyone care to violate their NDA and risk never hearing from IBM again, unless it's from their lawyers? Note that this article is from Maureen O'Gara, who bears the same resemblance to a journalist that an 8086 does to a z10. She's consistently snide for no reason, and makes things up as she goes along when she doesn't have the facts.

No, it's to stop male readers dead in their tracks and actually read the article, Marcy:-). It worked on me. DJ On 07/08/2010 12:15 PM, Marcy Cortes wrote: LOL.

When I read any of this from someone other than MOG, then, I'll believe it.

Some might have already have additional information about these machines, care to share? Ditto what others have said about MOG. Beyond that, most of what she's writing about has been presented multiple times at SHARE, WAVV, and IBM's Technical University. She gets most of it wrong, of course, being who she is. Look through the SHARE and WAVV proceedings from the last couple of conferences. You'll get the real information that is out there, without the nonsense mixed in. Mark Post

Well...so much for that post. Guess we will just have to wait and see what pops out. --- On Thu, 7/8/10, Dave Jones d...@vsoft-software.com wrote: From: Dave Jones d...@vsoft-software.com Subject: Re: Artical should be read 'zNEXT' To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: Thursday, July 8, 2010, 1:17 PM No, it's to stop male readers dead in their tracks and actually read the article, Marcy:-).
