Presumably the PC/370 is exciting to people who have software
systems all coded and ready to be used on a 370.  Running the
software on a PC/370 requires the minimum of software porting AND
RETRAINING (people don't like to retrain).  Because these are both
short term advantages, it is not clear what will happen to the
PC/370 in a few years.
