TOTAL ..........85


Now don't get me wrong -- I LIKE having all these things.
It just seems a little too much to expect me to shuffle (or even just to
store) 85 diskettes.  Oh yes,  speaking of shuffling, don't forget that
the applying the update diskettes means:
   insert disk 1
   insert disk 1, insert disk 2
   insert disk 1, insert disk 2, insert disk 3
   ...
   insert disk 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

I will recommend to management that AIX NOT be purchased for additional
PS/2 machines, because it COSTS TOO MUCH (personnel cost) to INSTALL!!!
(Yes, TCF can help ... IF all your machines are close enough to have on
a LAN; not the case for us.)
