Tony, the good news is >>>... the new machines use just fans for cooling, take about 1/7th the power input, take about 1/7th the floor space, and are a lot cheaper and yet more powerful than the old ECL machines.>>> The bad news is that you now need twice the floor space that you saved to put MVS and VM documentation - and that you need to locate the system near a nursing home for elderly and beyond systems programmers - and you need twice the energy saved to run the respirators. You win some, you lose some. But, I guess you knew that - that was in your roadmap called "JOB SECURITY" - or aka The Systems Programmer's S390K Retirement Program. Hey, you paid your dues. Mary
