from insider weekly e-mail

Interactive fees eliminated: IBM will also announce that maximum 5250
Interactive CPW will come at no charge in most of the new configurations.
This action reflects IBM's success with GreenStreak, which pushed hardware
sales without the burden of the interactive tax (IW 11/25/02).

"This confirms that GreenStreak was just an early pricing test to see if
this restructuring would fly," says an Insider source close to IBM.

However, IBM has discarded the name "5250 Interactive," which carried a
negative connotation in recent years, and will call the capability "5250
On-Line Transaction Processing" (OLTP). IBM defines 5250 OLTP as "any task
that uses a 5250 Data Stream."

It's not the destination that counts in life it's the journey. The journey
with the people we love is all that really matters. Such a simple truth so
easily forgotten.
