OT Hi Mary <ggg>. No customer will have to get his/her hands dirty with that stuff. IBM Global Services will handle everything. The customer simply sends a check to Armonk <ggg>. Best regards, John PS - Here is all I can remember off the top of my head. The stream starts with //Jobname //Exec How am I doing??? <ggg>

Mary, Your continuing derisive attitude toward IBM is pretty funny. Thing is, their stockholders are the ones getting the best chuckles, though, as they laugh all the way to the bank. As for platforms, they are into Unix and NT. Is there anything wrong with their also continuing to milk MVS, JES2, etc., for the large customer base that likes their stability? Jeez, Wall Street rewards WalMart for selling BIC pens and Home Depot for selling John Deere lawnmowers, so what's wrong with making money off dug-up dinosaur computer bones? Do you question IBM's overall company strategy? FWIW, IBM is one of Intel's best customers, you know. Oh well, it goes on. Tony
