Hello list,

I learned about the IBM System i Fact Find website from this list. I use it periodically to help me understand what system my customers have. During a recent use of the website, I found a note posted there by IBM indicating that they are going to discontinue supporting the information at this site after 2008. In fact, they are no longer adding new model information here. The site, if you have forgotten, is found at:

There is a link at the site to register your comments about its withdrawl. If you use this site or have found it useful in the past, I'd suggest sending an email through the link to let them know that this is a very useful service that IBM provides. I sent an email and after several days I did get a response indicating that they are thinking about an alternative way to support providing this information. If more people let them know that it is useful information, we might be successful in getting IBM to provide the info down the road.
