A complete refresh on the 8xx hardware product line (except for the 890) - 800, i810, i825, and i870. 2.) Effectively an elimination of the interactive tax on these models. 3.) A coupling of software resources into packages. I think it looks attractive but I guess that depends on pricing and any other gotchas. 4.) Temporary Capacity on Demand I've gotten this information from 3 different sources.......I'm sure there are others who are very privy to the more exacting details. Now couple this with some Malcolm based marketing? Sweet. Michael Crump Saint-Gobain Containers 1509 S.

Midrange Systems Technical Discussion this from the iseries network NEWS Wire Daily: ----<snip> Zollar?s software background makes him just the person to lead the iSeries through its next incarnation, Duncan says. ?We?re getting ready to have a massive relaunch of the iSeries,? Duncan says, ?and software plays a big part in that.? (IBM?s expected to release the details of this transformation on January 20.) <endsnip>------ what do you suppose a 'massive relaunch' means. A transformation? strong words! even if it's just a real, targeted, iseries SPECIFIC marketing campaign, it would be welcome! Has IBM ever used such strong language about our favorite little computer in the past for something we might remember? I can't think of anything short of silverlake. maybe the Lotus port, but that was pretty much greeted with yawns outside of our little corner of the industry. i'm sure some on the list are privy to what this means, but are contractually/duty bound to keep it zipped. but maybe you could give us a hint? ;) rick _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
