Re: Size of cume & groups

Rob,

Your situation may be very different from someone in Asia, South 
American, Africa, etc.  IBM has made it as easy as it can to be sure you 
get everything that should come down with a group that is needed in 90% 
of the cases.   The downside to that is you may order more than you ( in 
your shop ) really need, but the guy in the Czech Republic's needs might 
be very different nor may he have the same level of knowledge you do.
