Amen.

Double amen.

By the way, I mentioned my age (and those of some teammates) for one 
reason only, to demonstrate that zSeries is a field that smart people 
starting (or restarting) their careers want to enter.  To repeat, it's a 
growing business, the products have never been better, and we live in a 
world where consumers demand higher and higher qualities of service (24x7, 
security, privacy, etc.) and where it's easier and easier to switch 
suppliers.

Everyone who's already in the field ought to appreciate that, IMHO.
