Re: P7 IBM Hardware & Software Maintenance Renewal line item details

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For hardware they give you a number and for software a number.

You CAN get hardware detail but it's not easy or quick.

The hardware number would only be broken down the various Rack 
components so things like the System Unit, the I/O drawers, the HMC and 
like that. Then there is the 24x7 uptick also that's a separate line item.
