Description: PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER LISTINGS!!! I do this as a hobby for fun, and anything I list on e-bay I am wanting to sell, likely to fund some new obsession. If you want to make me an offer on anything, please do. I can also provide shipping discounts for multiple items…. Feel free to ask! Thank you for looking! This is a 'new logo' sign that hung in the Dallas, Texas office of Boole & Babbage, a mainframe software tools vendor. The company was the FIRST mainframe tools company that existed, and is THE company that forced IBM at the time to un-bundle their software (MLC) from the hardware offering. This is a new design sign from 1992 until the acquisition by BMC Software out of Houston Texas in early 1999. In about 1992, the company re-branded and moved away from the "George & Charlie" cameo logo's. This sign is in very nice shape, but is not perfect/flawless. It's a super sturdy sign, and I believe the backing is 1/2" thick painted plexiglass with CNC cut lettering. The base of the sign is white and the letters are grey and the 'fork' is green. Boole & Babbage had the absolute best mainframe software tools available in the marketplace bacjk then, and still does to this day! Local pick-up is available if you are in the DFW area - WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS! Heck, I may even know you... This will no doubt need VERY sturdy packaging. Please look at my other items and let me know if any questions. CMF Monitor (Capacity Measurement Facility). TSA/PPE (Total System Analyzer/Problem Program Evaluator), later became InTune. Resolve, later became Resolve Plus, then became MainView MVS. For a short while, we sold the real storage monitor by job name & address space (ASID) separately, then it was just incorporated into Resolve plus- We were first to market that functionality-CSA Mon (Common Storage Area Monitor). OmegaMon could NOT do that. Then there was Model 300, queuing theory modeling. CICS Manager, became MainView for CICS (apparently, IBM got fussy when B&B used an IBM Trade-marked name first in their product name). CICS AutoOperator became AutoOperator for CICS. DB2 Manager became MainView for DB2 (remember RxD2/Link & RxD2/FlexTools?). The IMS family was 13 separate tools that all became MV for IMS. AutoOperator for IMS, IMS Workload Analyzer, IMS Workload Monitor, IBM Resource Analyzer, IMS Resource Monitor, IMS Transaction Accountant, IMS Performance Reporter, and there were the four (4) DB2 Extensions; can’t recall that the extensions were… MainView for MQSeries. AutoOperator for MVS, became MainView AutoOperator. There were the distributed tools NetCommand from Avant Garde, later became Command/POST, then the Ensign acquisition. There, there they folks in Conyers @ Empact (StopX37, etc.) The 4th Dimension/NewDimension tools were re-marketed everywhere else but the US.
