Where do I sign up to get my commodity S/390 with free MVS?!?!?!!?!

<tongue loc="cheek"> MAN I'M THERE!!!  Where is it?  </tongue>

Services for what? Services on commodity hardware? Commodity hardware is use
me now, throw me away and replace me, not fix me.

Service their software? How? Fixes? Everyone does that. Free.

Service their software by changing it? Man, everyone I know is staying out
of changes in JDE. They write software around it!
