. . . and it shall continue to do so; what's more, it is getting more complex all the time. At most shops that have mainframes, it is only one component -- and an increasingly minor one -- in the overall enterprise IT picture. I trust my zSeries to do things that the smaller boxes can't do, but the small boxes can also do things the z/box can't. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it gets harder every day to keep track of everything that our shop does and how it all communicates. Apparently, I'm a bear of little brain.
