Re: So, was this really the biggest announcement for the iSeriessince 1988?

I tend to agree with you Al.

During the call one person asked what the end of service of his current 
model is.  I think his concern was that certain models, or certain racks 
would not support V5R2 or above, (SPD).  So when was his new model going 
to tank?  A prime concern, not specifically mentioned by him, but as a 
good example, would be the new raid cards are not PCI based.  They are 
PCI-X based.  So yet again, a new rack.  So, at what release will they 
drop PCI and have everyone running PCI-X (or any possible follow on)?

It is not as big as CISC to RISC in my opinion.

So, was this really the biggest announcement for the iSeries since 1988?
The pre announcement hype was saying that.
