At that time       I was in the bank's data center to certify the internal ethernet network and i       saw a couple of S390 that was packed to be shipped in France. Also a Z10       mainframe was there.              Ciao!       Fabio              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: ]\/[imac Rebirth Boss Point (2:335/364.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 200 426 1014 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5555 288/100 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 333/808       SEEN-BY: 335/206 364 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 4500/1       PATH: 335/364 221/6 1 280/464 229/426           |
