Re: Gentran for iSeries.

Well.... that may be different...  we're upgrading as well, and 
counting processor cores is affecting new software prices.  I think 
that's legitimate, although the Ka-Ching is sometimes deafening! 
Most vendors are willing to negotiate (to a degree).

However, Gentran for i saying you need 2 cores has a different feel-- 
they're not asking how many processor cores might their product run 
on, but telling that you need at least 2 cores to get acceptable 
performance.  That -definitely- sounds PC!
