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 90/1 120/340 601 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 229/101 200       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 280/464 292/789       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 317/3 322/757 333/808 335/206 364 342/200 410/9       SEEN-BY: 633/280       PATH: 335/364 292/854 229/426           |
