Bill  -  Just setting the date ahead is Trouble  & Turmoil with  capitol "T"s

Time Machine testing is  good - as long as licenses  et al are in order.

Someone  sent out a bulk fax over the week end  on a "new"  offering that
does time warping production machines.
 
No  further information is  known  other than the PRESS RELEASE faxed.

I will say that  those who have tried LPARS[ test &  production  on same
system] on  mainframes have  hit intermittent problems.  If you can afford
that  risk to your  production system then <??>

Happy Holiday Season

Glenn
