Ditto. But we haven't acquired hardware yet to bump to zOS 1.4, so we're still 2.10

"LOL...I teach it (data modeling and SQL)."

Come with me to the FBI then. We will save them!

Of course I'll be subbing out to you at 30%. I'll do the networking stuff though!

It's a software problem, not hardware.

Lotta peopla are eagerly anticipating PowerPC/5 chips.

Supposed to be able to run the 370/390 instruction set, AIX, the Intel 6/786 instruction set too.

One piece of hardware that can run basically all known operating systems without emulation.

2.8 billion transistors on each processor.

I was involved in such a computer project in Missouri. Started out at $35 million and wound up about $100 million and it was anything but what we asked for. The waste and cost overruns of these things are outrageous. Your tax dollars at work.

But i guessing it was a "client/server" wintel based

led by gore lick and other clintonistas....

"It's windy out there!"

That's the truth, and rain by the bucket full.

If it's doing this in the morning I'm building an arch. You are welcome on board. Bring your Oracle and SQL books lol I'll bring my Cisco stuff! When we re-populate the planet we will start the first networking and DB projects and get very rich!

The system was adopted after 9/11--at least, that's what I'm inferring from the article. But a Wintel configuration, if that's what it's running on, isn't the problem. The problem was the ability to get their database running--in which case, they need some help from Oracle, not Apple or AMD.

That’s why I like my Mac OSX(FreeBSD *nix) & it runs on PowerPC chips.

 

The PowerPC 5 chips are replacing all other IBM chips. (cost of Fabs $$$).

Trust me, they have banks of T3E Crays, each with 1200 Alpha CPUs. These are in effect "networked" supercomputers, and details on performance are very limited. Cray also has the new X1 out which is even a generation beyond these machines. Operating system in both cases is UNICOS.
