Of course, z/OS is nice too. If you can afford it and need some very
advanced
multi-box ability (like having 1,000 jobs running across 5 32-way
processors,
presenting a single system image to the user).

Oh, the places you'll go!

On our model 550 at the current moment we're running about 1700 jobs
across 3 LPARs using a single processor. I know many others here on the
list have much bigger and more complicated environments.

Once you get used to the i you'll wonder why you didn't do this years
ago. Many of the mainframe concepts you're used to will transfer almost
directly, like the "hipersocket" concept.

I will say this, you do have the right frame of mind and are quite
open.

Sometimes I'm "open". The i is a NICE environment. Linux is nice. Other
UNIX systems may be nice (no experience). Don't ask me about Windows and
M$. I'd likely be put as NOPOST to the forum and scolded by the admin
for using such language. <frown>

Of course, z/OS is nice too. If you can afford it and need some very
