Well OpenSolaris has already been ported to zSeries also look at some other acquisitions of IBM recently such as PSI and some virtualisation company which are all part of their plan to allow a cross platform fertilisation of all their products (Hybrid Computing will be a term coming up soon.)Originally posted by Platypus View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

IBM ?
I love 'em - worked for them on a project at IBM Warwick - nice folks.
Made loads of money over the years on IBM Mainframes and other IBM Products.
For the IBM detractors - As they say in Texas - if you think you are so smart - how come you ain't rich.
'Nuff said !Comment

I'm not a detractor. I spent two and a half excellent years contracting for them all over Europe working with some excellent people. Always been a fan of AIX, OS/390 and the old AS/400 series.Originally posted by AlfredJPruffock View PostSval-Baard Consulting Ltd - we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied.

Bring back the IBM4341 OS370 and VM/RSCS - when we ate Assembler for breakfast ,the good old days when Systems work was a mans job and to be seen talking to 'developers' was a sign of weakness - when a network meant one blue box talking to another with SNA links over SDLC connections and 3720 Front End Processors - when we ruled the world.Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostSo what's wrong with the i5 eh?

I do aplogise for that outburst - I didnt meant to offend - its just that things have not been easy recently - look I'd do anything if you let me be a Mason - Id come to the meetings sit at the back and not say anything ... sorry theres the phone - "Hello AJPruffock speaking - how may I help you ?

As for the IBM3720 ' the IBM 3720 was a communications controller (front-end processor) made by IBM, suitable for use in an IBM System/390'Last edited by AlfredJPruffock; 18 March 2009, 16:19.Comment
