978.0. "downsizing: headcount or computers?" by STARCH::HAGERMAN (Flames to /dev/null) Tue Jun 16 1992 13:10

    digital today (June 15):
    
    "Q: What has happened to the sale by product mix of the last
    several years?  Have we seen a swing to the low-end products?
    
    "A: Yes.  Many companies are downsizing, and their computing
    environments are changing from large host-based application systems
    to desktops and networked data servers."
    
    Does "downsizing" mean "reducing headcount" or does it mean
    "moving to smaller computers"?

978.1Downsizing from DGPAOIS::HILLAn immigrant in ParisWed Jun 17 1992 02:218
    Last week I was in both Ukraine and UK, watching some English language
    TV in both.
    
    On one of the channels I saw a Data General advert which is promoting
    their new range of down-sizing systems as a means of escape from the
    shackles of the mainframe, its era and its mentality.
