John - [I know you know better, but this is for the lurkers...] The world is run by about 50,000 mainframes from IBM and other mainframe manufacturer That 50,000 number is way off... try: 15,000 IBM MVS mainframes 40,000 IBM DOS/VSE midrange 400,000 IBM AS/400 midrange 500,000 DEC VAX midrange And we ignore Prime, Wang, Xerox, Cray, Control Data, Perkin Elmer, AT&T & another couple dozen box makers. Sooooo... just at a first cut there are close to 1,000,000 boxes in a very narrow view of the market. - David
