               The Examiner relies on the following reference:                        
          Stinson et al. (Stinson), "Getting the Most Out of IBM

               Claims 20-34 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                   
          being unpatentable over Stinson.                                            
               Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants and the              
          Examiner, reference is made to the briefs  and answers  for the1            2

                    We will not sustain the rejection of claims 20-34
