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).
