RE: P5 technology question.

James,

Ops Console has been so bad that I am glad to see that they are taking a
fresh approach with Linux.  I do not think the bad reputation of Ops Console
is all IBM's, they could never get what was really needed from MS soon
enough and they were constantly chasing it.  

That's one product that I would gladly dig a hole for IBM to bury that
product in!  :-)

Regards,

Mike Shaw

Well, technically, the scuttlebutt is a barrel (or "butt") with a hole (or
"scuttle") cut into it, used to store drinking water on a sailing ship.
Effectively a pre-20th-century version of the drinking fountain.

Seriously, I wouldn't mind one bit, seeing a built-in console added to the
next generation of AS/400s, as long as it eliminates the need for all
those silly CA/Windoze-based things like OpsConsole, OpsNav, &c. And if
it's Linux-based, it's certainly an improvement over something
Windoze-based. Although I'd still prefer for IBM to stop making such a
show of abandoning Twinax.
