Mary, you sure seem to have a chip on your shoulder about those mainframes!!!! I am in agreement with you on the 'cost effective' part of your argument. However, as Tony and I have said many times, Intel and Microsoft are not in the same ballpark when it comes to RAS, I/O capability, on the fly upgradeability, etc. Mainframe MIPS have also been getting quite a bit cheaper since the dawn of the CMOS era. Sometime between 2000 and 2010 <ggg> when they get closer, we can certainly revisit the argument.

Best regards,
John
