Well, at least I'm glad some agree about the poor naming of the new system. But I'm actually responding to your remark, Timothy, that you can get a reduction of 13% on your MLC bill when compared to a zBC12 when you're under 30 MSU. I don't think that's the case. AEWLC was first introduced

The recognized punctuation rules are no longer black and white where z13 and z13s are involved. The rule of always using an apostrophe for plurals of "non-words" is no longer universal: One rule is apostrophe "s" is used for plural for "words" that are not normally a noun; but z13 in our context

I confess to never having been the 'z/OSMF guy' at our shop. All I know is from arm's length observation and from hearsay. Not sure which is a flakier basis for commenting on installation and customization. I resolve to dig into this with a clear head and unbiased eye. Thanks for the pointers.

OK, not being negative, but this is just the BC version of a z13, right? With some minor other stuff? Not unimpressive, but not quite the revolution that the announcement tries to make it sound like. Or am I missing something? On Thu, Feb 18, 2016 at 6:50 PM, Mark Post wrote: >

I am using the SDSFAUX now that the corrective PTF for PI54862 has been closed. The SPE has much functionality that I normally get from other products and monitors in the system. But I find it very accessible to get all the information from one product and one that I am in all day anyway. For
