IBM's Transitive buy presents interesting server options

David Hicks

Err, IBM already supports older 31 bit programs... 

Stop

...on newer 64 bit machines. That's one of the selling points isn't it? Run anything that was ever written for mainframe EVER on even the newest box?

I only clicked on the article 'cos I thought it was about Transvestites...

I'm going now, mine's the one with the bottle-glass spectacles in the pocket.

You missed it. 

"now IBM has a lot of leverage in which to create a set of QuickTransit pairings"

I think what you really wanted to write is "now IBM has the opportunity to grow a (QuickTransit) pair"

You're welcome

Is it just me that clicked on this story curious as to what presents IBM's Transvestite would be buying...?

IBM has some serious compatibility issues? 

I did not realize that IBM had such serious compatibility issues within it's own systems as to require something like this to go from (almost) 32 bits to 64 bits... or even from one version of an OS to another... what a nightmare...

I hope they enjoy their Transitive purchase!
