Hi Tim Here is one person who would like to learn but doesn't find any viable options. The poster child of IBM education initiative, Marist College, does not even reply to emails, the phone number listed on the web page either does not work or leads to a fax machine. I can't just leave my job an join a university but I can't find any offsite courses anywhere. I did email to IBM education and got a reply that Mr. so and so will get me the information. I'm still waiting for it, though it has been only ten days. I'm not a newbie and have worked as application programmer for a long time and can learn new things with minimal help. The problem is that I can't even get access to z/OS. Is there anything IBM can do to help a willing learner? I hope I don't sound too bitter. Mohammad
