aged .. retired .. without connection to an I-series for some years  .. this 
list has kept me thinking  ..  spent many years at the 'hardware level' of 
computers  ..  and ever at heart a believer in understanding the machine level

so MI-400 had power to use hardware in exceptional ways  ..  [greatest 
implementation] I saw  was internally in Apple .. [late 80's] 
As underlying hardware moved to 'POWER" ..MI was not in form to be optimized..

its morphed ..and abstracted again

am sure those of us who understand/use MI400 are targets of 'destruction' by IBM 
 ..

subject: [MI400] MI-400 List ... is it still of any use?

Greetings,



The question has been raised that since there has been next to no traffic on
the MI list, is it still of any use to any one?



If not, then there's no reason to keep it around.if so, then that's another
story.



Comments?

There's also next to no traffic at all on the C list, and not a whole 
lot more on the Java list.

I still do a certain amount of work in MI, and would be very sad to see 
the List go.

But perhaps as an alternative, the MI and C lists could be rolled together.

Don:

So, the list does not get much (or any) traffic nowadays  ... is there 
any "cost" to maintaining the list?

Furthermore, the archives of the MI400 list contains much important 
information that cannot be found anywhere else. Even if this list is 
"shut down" to new traffic, the archives should be maintained "for 
posterity".

Somewhere other than here?

We are still using MI for a few performance sensitive programs, but not
having had any MI problems or questions, we have not used the MI list the
last few years. Judging from that it seems unlikely that we will need the MI
list again, but it has been nice to know it is there "just in case".....
