And IBM needs to know this.  Like I said to Dave, it's up to the 
community to identify the real areas of concern and go after them.  
Don't tell anyone I said this, <grin> but I think IBM knows that 
concurrent is the right thing to do, it's just that it's hard to do.  
Think about it: if you sign on to four different 5250 sessions, is that 
four ADTS licenses?  With named it's only one, with concurrent it's 
four.  And think how fast it gets crazy with something like RDi.  If I 
open a new workbench on my PC, is that another RDi license?  If I'm 
doing a compile AND a verify at the same time, is that two compiler 
licenses?  If not, does one hang while the other is running?

We all want the best solution, but we need to help IBM in identifying 
what that solution is.
