Hi All. I need to put together a document that IBM is taking the
mainframe seriously and is actively trying to get it taught in our
schools. Would anyone have any good articles available for my use?
Thanks all.
Have a Nice Day !

As I recall, your installation runs OS/390 V2R10, right?
Does this mean the powers that be are considering updating /
