Hi
I was in a meeting yesterday and I had to discuss the cost of shutting off our old RVA. It will cost over $1000.00 to just discontinue service for this box. Well our Microsoft guys said they could buy a small server for that price. Our UNIX guys said they have never heard of such a thing "Just shut it off and drill holes in the disk and push it into the dumpster". When they found out what I paid for maintenance per year for 500gib I couldn't get them to stop laughing. I was not laughing! Mainframe is a tuff place to be when everyone else in your department (including the boss) is half your age. Just venting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's not even Friday!!!!!!! Thanks!! George George A.
