IBM System i Fact Find Website

[Rich Loeber <rich@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello list,

I learned about the IBM System i Fact Find website from this list.  I 
use it periodically to help me understand what system my customers 
have.  During a recent use of the website, I found a note posted there 
by IBM indicating that they are going to discontinue supporting the 
information at this site after 2008.  In fact, they are no longer adding 
new model information here.   The site, if you have forgotten, is found at:

         http://www-919.ibm.com/factserv/factFind?machDB=

There is a link at the site to register your comments about its 
withdrawl.  If you use this site or have found it useful in the past, 
I'd suggest sending an email through the link to let them know that this 
is a very useful service that IBM provides.  I sent an email and after 
several days I did get a response indicating that they are thinking 
about an alternative way to support providing this information.  If more 
people let them know that it is useful information, we might be 
successful in getting IBM to provide the info down the road.
