You mean we actually had support? In fairness to certain IBM'ers such as Mark and Dev, I should say they were helpful at times. Other IBM'ers were less helpful (Hi "Midwest Bozo" - you know who you are). Although I suppose I can't make comments about pre-release builds of AIX for the 6000 that I've seen, I can only hope that IBM is trying to get its act together for workstations (not that I think they're anywhere close to that yet).
