Hi Nathan.

It is hard to predict, actually... The last thing that I heard about this IBM 
Power system is that it will stay in my organization for some time, but it 
will be sold out in near future.

I have a plans for self education in IBM virtualization technologies on this 
system. Right now it is unpartitioned but I am gonna to split it in LPARS as 
soon as I got CoD for it.

I will be happy to take part and test you Perforce project while I have access 
to this machine.
