Sundry Summer Announcements for the System i5
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

If I had to guess, I would say that IBM was originally planning on making announcements for its Power5+ server lines, the System i and the System p, on July 11. But then Sun Microsystems jumped in with its "Galaxy" Opteron server announcements, and Big Blue apparently thought it would be better to push its System p5 announcements out two weeks. However, some brief System i5 announcements still were made on July 11. READ MORE >

A Closer Look at the Economics of the Solution Edition for JDE
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

The Devil is always in the details in the computer business, and it is funny how the Devil is always looking out for the vendors and not the customers. I have been watching the computer business for decades now, and I am never surprised that things are not usually what the marketeers claim them to be, especially when I do the math. So it is with the i5 520 Solution Edition for JDE EnterpriseOne that IBM announced last week. The deal is a good deal, but it is not as good as IBM would have had us believe from its press release.

Time Sharing: An Old Concept That's Still With Us
by Mary Lou Roberts

Time sharing is certainly not new. The term has actually been around since the 1950s, when it designated the idea (unrealized at that time) that a computer could simultaneously be shared by more than one user. Of course, we have long since achieved that goal, and these days, with the exception of most personal computers (and even these can be set up to be shared if you are clever), just about all computers are time sharing in that context.

As I See It: The Donking Life
by Victor Rozek

It's summertime and the song tells me the living should be easy. And I want to believe it. But it's Monday morning again and the fish aren't jumping and the cotton is only high because my shorts are riding up. It's going to be a long day and I'm already thinking about next weekend, feeling distracted, restless, and bored with my job; wanting to avoid doing it for as long as possible. READ MORE >
