Re: iSeries Nation Update.....

[mandy.shaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

You're absolutely right ... and we've got most of it already, and we can
ram that telling point home to a prospect and it's very effective ...
But is IBM going to do anything about marketing this multi-personality
low-maintenance high-resilience secure scaleable server *before* it reaches
the state of perfection you describe?

Mandy Said;

Have you seen the latest NewsWire/400 quoting Buell Duncan on this subject?
(I imagine those who were at COMMON knew this already.) I read into it some
conflicting messages about IBM's attitude to iSeries Nation - end result is
something along the lines of 'we know that iSeries has a band of very
faithful followers, so here's a sop to them and some assistance to them in
doing the marketing for us that we should be doing ourselves, but iSeries
is not the brand, IBM eServer is'. (i.e. business as usual.) Wonderful
doublethink.
Mandy

-------------------------

They would on the surface seem that way.     Imagine a future where there
was only one eServer.    It could scale to any size.   It would be
virtually up all the time.  It could run any "Personality"   Linux,   MVS,
Win,   *nix.      Easy to administer,   etc.

Imagine that the OS that would be the controlling partition would be
CPF.....    er  I mean OS/400?

Hmmm.

John
