At one time, the LUG was membership was based upon some minimum level of
CPW. I don't know if that is the case still.

What's your definition of a big i installation?
- A compound full of the largest Power 6 machines with only one tiny lpar
running i5/OS? The rest run AIX or Linux.
- A place with all of their distributorships, numbering in the thousands,
running the smallest power 6 using i on each?
- A place with a 9117-MMA, 8203-E4A, 9408-M25 with 12 lpars of which 10
run i and 2 run Linux?
- Or do you base it on number of W4 employees or annual sales? Or brand
recognition as performed by an independent marketing group?
