It's Sept of this year.... so we haven't quite hit the date yet. 

Also, offtopic to the thread, but ontopic to the list.... if you haven't
checked the NIC from thinknic.com, do so.  I'm going to be adding tn5250
(among others things) to it (it's a CD based system) and using it to
replace terminals very very cheaply ($200 apiece for a full unit, +
monitor)  It believe that would make the cheapest complete 5250 solution
you can buy (new)
