Re: Getting ready for the (far?) future

[B Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've had many customers move from Power8 to Power9 as well and also am
curious as to why.  I'm sure not every reason is the same, but maybe
similar.

I mean, I update my pixel phone every year, but mainly because I don't have
many business deductions.  But my wife only gets every other model (and
kids and parents get our old ones).

I know I won't outgrow my Power8 before the latest OS won't run on it, but
hopefully that won't be for a few years.  Even my old 515 still has enough
horsepower for most of the things I need it for.
