Tony, <<<this article says mainframes are alive and well.>>> computerworld.com This is not rocket science. This is about marketing and understanding the requirements of the market. This is where Intel, AMD, Scumbria, and Dan have not a clue. Maineframes and high end servers will be with us far longer than needed, wasting a lot of money for a lot of organizations - all because our technical geniuses have not a clue what people actually do with computers. <<<"By the end of 2001 we'll have that up to 60 million transactions a day" to handle growing volumes, Letzler said. "With full redundancy -- so we have duplicate sets." ...... Originally, the processing was performed in batches at the end of each trading day. Over this past year, the Depository Trust moved to a multibatch processing format and expects to have a real-time process in place by year's end, he added. This transition is part of the securities industry's move from a three-day to a one-day settlement cycle (T+1), due to be completed in 2004.

Actually, he's the owner, isn't he? >>> I have checked into that. George Steinbrenner is the principal owner of the New York Yankees with a number of limited partners. As they say, there is nothing more limiting than to be a limited partner with George Steinbrenner as principal owner. Mary
