Re: Memory costs

[Darrell A Martin <DMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

I find it "fascinating" that some of the same people who tout iSeries 
hardware for its stability and almost obscenely long uptime, are 
complaining because Rochester wants to dictate memory placement.

Well, how do you think the platform is kept stable? By allowing end users 
to slap whatever hardware in whatever slot we want and "see what happens"? 
That's part of what is wrong with Windoze ... MS keeps trying to support 
the most creative varieties of Frankintel monsters, and the rest of us pay 
for it in ways that are sometimes subtle and indirect. And sometimes the 
effects are anything but subtle or indirect.
