RE: Is it possible to crack the BPCS Key logic?

I am a V404 user and just negotiated moving BPCS from a Model 300 CISC to a Model 270 RISC machine.  Although we would have preferred to pay nothing (which is not practical), we agreed on a reasonable figure for the move.  My only problem is how the tiers are defined.  I cannot control that moving to a current machine (lowest end 270) that will provide my company with the longest possible life of the hardware also gives me a machine that has more power than my old one.  I still have the same number of users and the same applications, even though the machine has more capabilities.

The bottom line is we successfully negotiated (for the second time) moving to a new machine without OGS and with a reasonable cost.

My apologies to anyone that took my response as demeaning.  It was not intended
to be.  It was intended to straighten out a statement that was untrue.  And one
that openly accused SSA of lying and challenged us to deny it.

I will be silent so as not to be misunderstood.

Again my apologies if I offended.
