RE: CUoD

[Jim Damato <jdamato@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We used it to "buy" four more processors for our 840.  Once the p.o. was
accepted we were able to point and click through a twisty little maze of web
pages and, enter a number and get our activation key for the processors.

Then we waited a couple weeks for the accompanying memory, and scheduled
downtime.  It made me think, "when have I ever needed to upgrade processors
without some other major hardware change?"  In our environment adding
processors by themselves is a great way to make the machine thrash through
memory.

You know, that CUoD thing really works. I had a client that needed to use
it when their system crashed in the middle of the day. They called IBM,
got a double secret code, and their rebuilds just flew with that extra
processor.
