Not really, no. Regardless of what anybody says, the age of the zSeries
is over. It is now, at best, a niche player in overall IT. Oh, granted
many will point to the growth in MIPS being used. But that does not
translate into jobs for people. That's what I mean by niche. My
suggestion, and what I'm trying to do, is learn Linux on various
platforms, especially Intel/AMD.
