Regarding article about IBM feeling a 386 may impact the S/36, as mentioned
by Brandon Allbery - if anything, IBM has 'boosted' the idea of the
low- to middle-ground mainframe, with the introduction of the 9370 - a S/370
architecture in a box as small as - well not sure, - a filing cabinet at 
least.  This could open the door to some interesting "cooperative processing"
because these boxes will continue to have better communications and larger
disks (with no 32MB limitations, ;-) than the PC.
