... C'mon, mainframes ARE expensive, no doubt. Mainframe is more expensive
than a PC, even with bubble jet printer, 19" LCD screen, double layer DVD-R and bunch of "Kill everyone" games. Windows XP, even Professional is cheaper than z/OS. ... Maybe, but when I have to buy 11,500 PC's for staff how much does that add up to? PLUS, the servers (& software & network & nauseum) to connect them up? TCO arguments are killing the Mainframe, almost as much as the fact that we are no longer advertising the strengths (including IBM). The best bet, when 8-year olds won't understand the TCO argument, is to stay away from costs in the entire discussion!
