This is not a discussion about the future of the mainframe, whether the mainframe is a viable platform, or whether there are more windoze licenses than z/OS licenses. It started with this quote "There's a great deal of attention now paid to helping new mainframe". IMO, anyone who disputes this hasn't been paying attention. Just for the record, we just hired a 23 year old sysprog right out of college who doesn't know anything about a mainframe - yet.
