While your arguments are reasonable to have a plan C, it just sounds like a bad excuse for the provider of plan A to provide not more than 60% availability. Keeping in mind that it used to be 90% availability. 60 and 90 are just numbers to describe the difference. And remember that the provider of plan A has not cut its prices by the same amount as its availability of plan A.

I specifically suggested you can have a "Plan C" if you wish. You describe one possible Plan C: dead trees holding certain documentation, hopefully useful-in-the-emergency-circumstances documentation. We're certainly not disagreeing, at least as far as I can tell. IBM Knowledge Center is available at IBM via the public Internet, but *nobody* is recommending exclusive reliance on that offering for your mission critical needs. If you're mission critical, you must plan for the "What if?" that you cannot access the IBM Knowledge Center on the Internet, for whatever reason(s). (They might be "good" reasons or not, but "whatever.") IBM Knowledge Center for z/OS is also available, at no additional charge with your base z/OS license. That's a *terrific* "Plan B." If you *still* want a Plan C, e.g. dead trees, no problem! I suggested that possibility! We're agreeing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
