AMEN. And platform bias is probably the biggest factor in many IT
platform decisions.
We had a CEO once that was determined to go "All client/server" because
he knew howw to turn his desktop PC on and off. We, as professionals,
should be pushing the mainframe as a very large and highly capable
server, instead of trying to draw some sort of "boundary line" between
mainframe and server.
It takes a life time to open one's eyes if the eyesight was ruined by
either IBM or mainframe.

"an obsolete device still used by thousands of obsolete companies
serving billions of obsolete customers and making huge obsolete profits
for their obsolete shareholders. And this year's run twice as fast as
last year's."
