I was told by an IBM insider that ISC was written by someone who's daddy at IBM didn't have anything better for him to do.

You think you're a domestic US car maker?> The marketing nonsense is certainly ridiculous, but I don't think I've seen the code quality particularly go down. I'm another one of the 2.1 veterans, and the stability and lack of errors I see in TSM is an important point in its favor. Where we see the flighty, erratic behavior is in the layers folks are trying to paint on top of the product. The much-maligned ISC, for example. Websphere is a joke, so that makes AC on ISC on WS a triple-decker joke, foisted on us by some Vice President in Tivoli who has a Vision of Unified Management. - Allen S.
