"the first centralized security system, Customer Information Control System
(CICS), was introduced on the S/390."
This is news to me. I always thought CICS was an online transaction system
which was introduced on the S/370 or even earlier. JC, feel free to chime
in.

This link probably won't fit on one line, but it's an excellent article
IMHO:

I guess you could say, without exaggeration, that the cost to (the company
mentioned) of *not* having mainframe QoS is $2.75+ billion. (It's public
knowledge that they didn't have a mainframe.) Or, more precisely, the odds
of a $2.75+ billion loss would have been a whole lot lower, one would
think.
