It's a mainframe. Now where did I put my copy of MVS/XA....... I've got this JCL shell from somewhere, maybe I should port it? Nah... then I'd probably have to use it.

I beg to differ with you Peter :^). There are now quite a few Amiga 2000's in offices connected to ethernet and using NFS. Those attributes, with a 68020/68881 card and 4MB of memory, make it a very useful workstation in my book. Of course an Amiga 500 with only 512K ram is considered by many people to be only a game machine, but such is life. -- -+= SAM =+- "the best things in life are free" ARPA: paolucci@snll-arpagw.llnl.gov

Ping. Ping. I hear a term being coined. "Homestation." Amiga. The homestation for the blessed of us.
